Lots going on at the nuc entrance this afternoon after the thunderstorm. Looks like the brood is beginning to hatch, as new bees were flying at the gate. Inside the hive the bees are actively making comb where I had removed it for the nasty hive. It too seems active, but with such a small colony its still not much. The bar of bees I gave it seems to have perc'd them up. Gave it some sugar water to help it along and closed down the entrance even more. Checked on brood development and it to seems to be getting stronger with brood on more than one comb now. As the bees hatch, it to should improve as there will be more hive bees to help. Hope to see new bees flying in a day or two. Later
