Deeper Inspection, Got Stung Three Times

  • I suppose it eventually had to happen.  Doing a deeper inspection today, had a bar with mostly brood on the stand and something made one of them mad, stung 3 times in a split second.  Like a hard pinch, and already can't tell where I was stung.   Running away from the hive praying they weren't following.  Going back took a little effort but they were fine.
  • I added an empty (14) after the last brood bar (#10) and between the last two honey bars.
  • The last bar between brood/honey is a mix of a little honey and a lot of drone cells, unless someone says otherwise, I am chalking that up as that's what they felt they needed to do. So I have about 9 combs of brood/drone cells and 6 of honey, a lot being capped.**Incorrect.  The brood I thought was drone was not domed near enough.  It is worker brood.  Yeah!
  • Also added 1/8" spacers between the honey bars to add space.
This is the comb I thought was drone at first, but watched enough videos to realize it is worker.  So then, the queen's got a darn good laying pattern!
