The bees are over flowing


I had a look inside of Demeter to see where it was at with space and it really had none.  Two deeps and a medium full of brood and stores.  Lots of drone cells as well.  I hope they aren't going to swarm and I should have done a split, but I have only read about doing them and was nervous about making sure the queen was in the right hive.  They are building queen cells so I'm going to consult Curtis Gentry about the best splitting methods.

I think your Bee Cozy contributed to such a healthy looking hive. The extra insulation and them not having to work so hard staying warm allowed them to move around and take care of their hive.
