Weighing the hive (continued 7) - Its gaining weight

Yesterday (Sunday 6th April), while cleaning the house after the baptism which took so long time with the children being bored or crying etc, I did another weighing of the hive during a break - and this is how it looks:

Total mass show a slight increase in weight


The increase does not look that significant but when looking at the weight change per day the the change look much more significant.

Here it is quite obvious that the hive is gaining weight. This means that the bees now have significant amounts of nectar and pollen available to sustain the hive, i.e. the summer started in week 14.
