Got up for a look on this past Saturday, Cinco de Mayo.
Weather was warm (c. 55-60), but it was overcast enough to make visibility less than optimal. I had to rush a bit to make it to a Derby Party and wasted a good 20 minutes or so clearing a drain and the attendant lake.
Overall things seem to be going well:
Abigail II seems to be making slow but steady progress in her 2 boxes,
Bridget II is positively BOOMING in her 4 - I reversed deeps (again) and moved the Imrie shim to just above the excluder, with the medium on the bottom (I think).
Charlotte II is going gangbusters as well and I had to trim some excess comb, both top and bottom.
Deirdre, I'm happy to report, is doing quite nicely now, and I even got a look at her on the 4th frame of the bottom (!) box.
Above the dual hive is a shim, a medium and a deep - medium is nicely drawn, but empty, while the deep is slowly beginning to fill.
