His nibs filling jars
Jar 1 

139 in total whooppeeeeee
Just a few more :)

Today's findings

Checked the girls today, marked 1 new queen, found a little virgin queen and remarked a queen from last year because her red dot was almost gone.

One of the nucs had no sign of the queen, no stores, literally about 20 capped brood but 8 queen cells!!!  so to save the colony we have ordered a new queen to put in the hive and will remove the queen cells at the same time.    Hopefully then the colony will grow.
