Sasha Hive Cleaning House

There are finally enough bees to do some cleaning I am so happy to finally see they removed the wax moth larvae debris left on a couple of frames. The hive makes hardly any sound compared to the boisterous OV hive but it looks so clean and tidy. There is no other evidence of a stressed hive.

The Queen is laying a nice brood pattern as you can see - she is on the little patch of honey to the bottom right of the frame. She's still only laying on those few frames but I'm confident she'll move around more now that the bees have tidied up the other frams and start laying more. I know it is just the end of May but I am concerned that they may not make it through the winter if the population doesn't start increasing more.
