I took my Apiguard off two days ago and on Sunday just gone I did a full inspection. I didn’t see ANY brood but I have 6 full frames of honey mainly capped and some pollen in the centre. I have the largest amount of bees I have seen since starting last year too and last night I witnessed yet another group of young bees taking flight for their first time. There was huge activity outside the entrance and bees flying figure of 8 straight up!!
... different to my first colony that died in feb. 2012.
Now we have the OP writing the above - in Feb 2012!

That may be but I just signed a form at my dentist and dated it 2013....maybe it was the stress.
Perhaps the OP is still in 2013?
