+====== First spring inspection in 6 frame hives ======
+Done on Apr. 10, 2022 at 56F on a sunny day.
+  * all 12 hives had brood in all stages and young nurse bees.
+  * 3 hives had drone brood, too
+    * 1 hive had walking on the comb young drones.
+  * all hives had still capped sugar syrup from fall feeding
+    * minimum was half of the frame
+    * maximum was 3 frames and untouched sugar brick. It means they needed only ~22lb of capped stores (3 deep frames) for the whole winter.
+    * strongest hives got more sugar bricks from hives which had enough stores in frames.
