Decided to look at all three hives today. Rain is forecasted for the next few days. Hive #1 is doing fine, medium super that was added last week is being worked. Still have 4 open frames with little activity taking place. This hive has no sugar water on it.
Second hive is not doing as well as I had hoped one frame had a capped supersedure cell on it. I did find the queen, she is easy to find because see is marked. Did see some developing larva so for now will just watch this hive. Did not remove the queen cell. I am thinking the workers may have built this cell when the queen was delayed in her release.
The third hive is growing fast which is to be expected for a nuc. Added a medium super with nine frames of drawn comb. Also need to add more sugar water tonight to hives #2 and 3.
