Norman's (No 3) hive to Costessy

I moved another hive to Old Costessy from Norman's back garden. I was able to mark the queen this afternoon and make sure she was in the brood box. The hive was on a brood and a half. It's now on a single brood with two supers.

I have two hives at Postwick on open mesh floors one the swarm I picked up last year which is still a small colony and one the double brood box next to the swarm. I gave them both a dusting of icing sugar today.
