Went as planned this afternoon. Under supered the hives which still had supers - both very strong.

The nucs appear to have been done in by wasps - frames absolutely empty no stores dead larvae or bees.

Remaining poly hive felt light so fed today rather than waiting until tomorrow - should be OK as quite distant from other hives in the apiary.

Will visit again Wednesday 09/09 weather permitting to feed remaining hives. ETA 1630hrs. ETD 1730hrs or earlier if complete.

Plans for this week - weather permitting: Tues 08 Sep 1400hrs visit site and do any necessary manipulations prior to feeding. This will include putting the now combined nucs into a poly hive and under supering any others where this is appropriate. Later that afternoon or failing that Wed p.m feed stocks using Ambrosia Bienenfutter.
