Checked on the two hives. Both installed out of 4 frame nucs in April. One had a bit of excess honey. The other was a bit slower. Think one queen's a protestant and the other catholic. Moved things around and gave the slower hive a couple mediums of honey from the stronger one.
They're foraging and bringing in big baskets of orange pollen.. Thought they might be testy due to the flow falling off. But pretty tolerant considering.
Thinking I might have to re-queen the slower one either in a couple weeks or next Spring. Not sure if I can get a queen this late. Might also be able to raise one form the stronger have next Spring and re-queen then. Still have a couple nuc boxes I never got back for the deposit, so I can use those. Humm...
