Looking good! What’s the setup on the 2nd from the left? Looks like two inner covers between the 2nd and 3rd boxes?

The bottom 2 are brood boxes for a hive that’s doing well. The third one is the inner cover and then a screened bottom board. The third is a new split and a) I don’t have another bottom board and b) I’m hoping the screen will help keep their new brood at temperature. I should be moving them in a couple of weeks.

Like a duplex! Interesting idea, never seen that done before. Any worries about drift?

Yes. The entrances on the nuc are facing the other side. If I’d planned better, I should have picked one of my painted boxes.
