| On his way to the hive. All Eshel photos by Olea |
Last week while visiting from Seattle, Eshel went into the hives for his first time. We went into #3 and #2 on separate days.

He was very interested and would peer into the hive, often blocking my view. We saw the queen in each hive, an uncapped queen cell in #3 and lots of brood. #3 has expanded to 7 frames and is drawing comb on #8. #2 has 4 frames of bee with brood on 3 of them.
Yes, Olea's hive is gone and will be put into storage until it moves to Seattle. I noted a lot of debris and some dead bees on the porch, a sign that the hive had been robbed. I had been expecting that.
