Hi Everyone,

Well I checked my hive yesterday and sure enough the third box remained empty so I removed it. Specifically I took it off the hive and set it a few feet away, it only took an hour or so for all of the bees in the top box to move back to the main hive.

Here is a photo of a center frame of my second box. I'm worried that there isn't much honey. Wondering if I should feed more.

Yellow Jackets Okay.

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to post an update and let everyone know that my yellow jacket traps are still catching a lot of YJ's, but the number of YJ's bothering the have has dropped considerably.

Here is a photo of the hive currently:

You can see one of the YJ traps that I put near it as well as the strip of red duct tape that I used to close the seam made by the frameholder. The YJ's seemed to be trying to sneak into the hive through that seam.
