2024-08-01 Orange Hive Super Inspection - lower deep

Taking a look at the bottom deep brood box. When the bees are thick and lining up in a row look out - they are getting ready to attack!
Saw several drones. Also learned if food supplies get low, they will turn and eat the brood as a food source. Found the queen - Larry clips her wings so if they swarm, they won't go too far! Based on what we saw, Larry estimated about 40,000 bees per hive or more!
