Hive Two Inspection

Goals:

1. Inspect for varroa
   I know I have varroa but I still have honey supers on so can't treat yet. I want to get an idea of how bad the infestation is to determine whether I need to treat now or can wait another month.
2. Remove Pollen collector
   The bees have given me 2.5kg of saleable pollen this season. There is also approximately 1kg of the smaller grained pollen which is not saleable. I will use this as feed for nucs and my hives at the beginning of next season.
   
   The pollen collection restricts the flow of bees a quite a lot and the volume of available pollen has significantly reduced now so I'll remove it until next season.
3. General clean
   Its been a few months since I've stripped the hive completely down so I'm expecting to find a lot of rouge comb and lumps of propolis that shouldn't be there. Also, there will be a reasonable quantity of dross under the pollen collector which will encourage pests (like the wax moth) to take up residence in the hive. This needs to be removed.
4. Rearrange honey frames to get bees to complete capping.
   Currently there is 1 full depth and 1 ¾ depth honey super on the hive. The full depth is getting close to being ready for extraction so I'll rearrnge the frames so that bees cap the frames off. The bees tend to work on the frames in the middle first so I'll place the least complete ones there. Once they are capped they can be moved to the edge of the hive and replaced with the almost complete frames.
