mine was fine. bees were nice. not much junk to clean. my thought was to check on stores and overall health, clean bottom boards, and get out. my goal was to disturb them as little as possible knowing that the queen would just be starting to do her thing and the hive was just getting active. i only pulled enough frames to check stores and to see into the lower box. then i pulled the top box off and set it aside. removed the bottom box. scraped the bottom board and put it all back together. probably about 5 min. per hive. that was enough to see that they needed feeding and that one hive was not as vigorous as i had hoped. it may well be queenless, but since it is early, i'll wait a bit to check again.
that's all i did for a 1st of the season.
