Another grey yet warm start to the day. As the day progressed it warmed and occasionally the sun shone. In the afternoon I took down 'Tinas' hive to the double brood box at the bottom. I put on the second (top) brood box few weeks ago (see picture). When I put it on it was brand new with all un-drawn new foundation. It is now fully drawn-out and full of eggs and brood. The were five supers on before I started. I left three on and removed a super and a half of capped frames. Later in the evening I put on four supers of 'wet' frames that I had been keeping in the shed since extracting the honey before leaving to go on holiday.
