Top Bar Beekeeping in Arlington Heights

11 days later -- I have added 4 more bars -- three old comb right after the new comb they are building at the end of the existing brood comb, and a partially build honey comb further down.  Took from the pink hive.  I figure I'd make it as easy as possible for them so they don't have to spend energy making new comb, only fixing up the old.  Will be cool to see how they fix the old.

Last two days lots of increasing scout bee activity (or could have been robbing).  But, yes, today, the blue hive has a colony!  Decent size, and good activity.  Very cool.
