Sasha Hive Doing Better With Brood

What a wonderful sight to see! This is a picture of brood in the second box of the Sasha hive. Look at that lovely brood pattern! The queen wants to lay, even though this frame is not entirely drawn out with comb, but the bees are certainly doing so in the second box now.

There are 5 full frames of brood in the bottom box with the adjacent half filled on the frames located to each side of those 5 frames. Adding two frames of brood and nurse bees last week really made a difference in the population. This morning I observed many orientation flights!

I placed the 4 extracted frame from the OV hive in the top box and the bees immediately went to work cleaning the honey from the comb. They'll prepare the cells and I'm sure the queen will have these frames full with brood in no time!
