Mystified ...

.... both me and the bees. I did a very brief check on them on Sunday. I did hop into my suit, but didn't use the smoker.

I popped the lid off and looked into the Super, where about a thousand bees seem to be wandering around, gazing in mystification at the space, or propolising arbitrary corners, while not continuing to draw out the half-drawn out foundation on the central frame.

Meanwhile in the brood box, I only really checked Frame 1, which remains - mystifyingly - untouched.

I must admit to being completely bee-fuzzled.
