2nd Inspection

Unfortunetly, the cammera didn't have any power left so there are no photos to go with this inspection. Anyways I opened the hive like last time and the bees were actually much queieter than before. I proceded to remove frames on at a time for inspection untill I came the the one near the center. I picked it up and there was capped honey, already. I continued looking and there were eggs with young larva. And what could make this inspection better, right? I saw the queen! Her highness was walking around on the frame and was surrounded by a court of 11 workers. Just then a tree trimmer that was hired to trim the various oaks around the house in preparation for hurrican season said, "Are you fo' real?!". He then called over another laborer to come watch me inspect the hive. I showed them the capped honey, workers and drones. None of them were wearing veils, even though I offered them a spare, and no one got stung, including me. I continued to inspect and found that my hive actually had SHB(Small Hive Beetles) which, despite their name, are a huge problem! After all this I dusted the bees with sugar, closed the hive, attached the feeder and sprinkled the surrounding area with cinemon to repell the ants. Next week I should start seeing some capped brood and I'll try to take some pictres of it.
