The allotment apiary

The day has started with bright sunshine and continued to become a really warm if not always sunny day.
I checked and confirmed six hives for laying queens. Put another tray of Apiguard on one (swarm2).
Put feed on the white WBC after doubling it to two brood boxes.
Doubled the brood box on the hive next to the WBC and gave it more feed
Put feed the hive on Furgles plot
Put the cappings back on the hive at the end (re-queened swarm1)
Swarm3 is still in a temporary box - saw the queen - very dark
