Checking in

It's been a month with the bees and it's time to add the deep hive and to make sure the queen has gotten out of her box. Since their numbers are growing rapidly the deep hive will give them more space so they don't swarm. We are mainly looking for a capped brood meaning the queen is laying eggs and covers them with wax. And also to make sure there are no queen cells because that's a sign they are about to swarm because of over crowding.
