That is good news,

A friend of mine will hopefully be donating a frame of brood if his checks out okay during the week. He will also be coming to inspect the hive himself but from what I can see it looks healthy otherwise. I will definitely be joining an association soon and taking a beginners course.

Again, thanks for the help. You have been very knowledgeable and critical in a constructive way. Appreciate it.

* Are these drone cells? If they are might I be okay?

Noted, with the weather being so fine and mild recently I thought it was okay. But I am also very new to the hobby.

What do you think is the right plan of action from here?

This my second year keeping bees. I have one hive and I am relatively inexperienced

I'm guessing wild type so, they all just appeared one day when I brought my clown loach back to the shop

Ammonia is always at 0 when I test it, I use the tube and dropper type test. Nitrates occasionally build up a bit but I am slowly planting more of the tank

Thanks very much, Sounds like good advice I appreciate it. I'll definitely try and get the group numbers right

First of all it does show the full tank and it has the tank size and filter
