Even though it was extremely hot today, I checked all the hives. No changes made to any of the hives. They still have some space in each hive. No ants but some hive beetles. No wax moths - all the hives are full of bees so that shouldn't be an issue.
I'll wait till September and then decide if I'll take any honey this year. I don't want to feed the bees during the winter and if I take all their food supply, that's what I'll end up doing. All four hives look good and healthy.
These photos of the hives were taken about 8 o'clock tonight. No photo of Hive #4.
