The fall flow in our area is upon us, and I needed to make sure the bees had plenty of room and weren't trying to swarm. So in this video, I was doing a swarm check, to see if I could find any swarm cells as well as to check on the progress of the honey super in Alpha Hive and the 2nd brood chamber on Bravo Hive.
