Nothing much to report today.  Refilled the syrup on the split hive I acquired from Juile (they are thirsty!)  I hope this means they are busy building comb inside.  They still seemed agitated and overly active, so I didn’t open them up this afternoon.  Maybe tomorrow I will check for queen activity.  Tonight I plan to spend some time cleaning up an old deep and frames to use in case I receive more swarm calls.  I like the size of the nuc for doing this, but right now it still has the last swarm living in it until I get time to transfer it.  Hopefully a few days of settling into the nuc frames will cause them to consider them home so when I move them to a 10 frame hive they will stay put.
