Went into the Oscar hive for the first time to check for signs of egg laying, etc. Found capped brood and open larvae, so I know the queen is laying. Jack and I found the queen as well. There is comb on frames one through six and the bees are continuing to bring in pollen. I replaced the Brushy Mountain top feeder with a Boardman feeder over the hole in the inner cover. Too many drowned bees. I am going to leave them to their business for another week or so before I go back in. Photo credits go to my son Jack.
