Very interesting day in the hive. Larvae, pupu, and basically stillborn bees. Who I killed in the process of "working" the hive.

You can see the black eyes forming in two pupa near the bottom of the middle picture; also one at the top I think.

I had to remove a lot of burr comb--or maybe it's called drawn comb??--from the bottoms of several frames. While I inspected it later it occurred to me that some of these could have been Queen bees in the making. There are so many things to check for when you go into the hive!

I didn't see any mites. So far, so good.
