Thanks, They sure did!

At the rate the first hive is going I'm going to have to add the medium sooner than expected. I have a medium available for each hive so they'll each have one super and one medium. I've read that unless I'm really going for maximum honey production that will be sufficient for a northern hive.

I also have to put the new base on the second hive. I really like these bases. Screen bottom with a tray underneath that you fill with vegetable oil to kill any beetles that drop down.
I don't see any beetles here from the first hive. Not sure how often I need to change the oil on a hive.
