Took a look at the newer second H2G hive and a close up of its brood frames.
"Sorry about the focus."
The queen has been laying in H1G and the Queen for H2G has been laying, there are day old to 10 day old larvae in both hive now along with capped brood, not much final stage Pupae or emergent.

********* note: The batteries in use are high temperature batteries 1600 cycles to 30% DOD.
This means at 20 degrees Celsius the battery is considered full at 13.6v because of temperature.(Calculated from data sheet for 2.5v type cell for each of the six cells added together)
At 20 deg. Celsius the battery capacity in AH is lower in rating at 80% of total model type of battery rating nominated in ah.
These are nominally 40AH so they are now 34AH at 20 deg C.
The Meaning................:
Should have set the float-voltage to 13.4v
overcharge setting at: 13.7v
overcharge recovery at 13.5v

* * * * * NOTE: Overcharge setting and overcharge recovery setting should be done using Battery model spec. data sheet e.g. Batteries float life-cycle spec. graph lasting 10 years at 20 deg. Celsius or 25 deg. Celsius will be a specific voltage at that temperature EXAMPLE ONLY 14 volts is overcharged at 20 deg. Celsius (and full at 80% ah capacity because of temperature), so set to 13.8v as overcharged recovery.
Use battery model data sheet graphs to obtain correct setting levels!
How To of function settings for 200w-600w LCD MPPT wind solar hybrid controller. Over voltage and recovery, under voltage and recovery, load timer and wattage settings, load auto on off threshold, MPPT start voltage for turbine.
The instruction manual was interesting, because in mentioning voltages for setting MPPT start, it recommended 6vac for 12v turbines and 12 or 10vac for 24v turbine, however it does insinuate and by the controller settings that 0 all the way in 1v increment to 30v is acceptable no matter other settings i.e. 13.7v floating voltage.
A second point about the test, this is only a crude test with the wind turbine up at 5 meters, also the solar panels (sometimes 2 not 3) are on the ground and a guide dog and a pig dog sometimes interfere with the wiring on the ground so not much occurs(sometimes some semi tame ring tail possums whom disagree about my use of the tool shed when i am in there).
In consequence sometimes nothing much is occurring because of wiring mishaps.

VALUABLE INFO:
NOTE: Unfortunately if you want ANY wind turbine to operate properly should be placed 12 meters up minimum(15 meters ideal) into the percentile layer above the ground level percentile layer(meteorology) to EVER operate properly whether a tiny 50w turbine or a 5Kw turbine(sworn truth). There is too much turbulence below 12 meters from obstacles. Second, whether free stand or guy wire, there must be NO wobbling vibration of the pole top. Vibration causes the blades to lose vacuum and on return bounce crash into the oncoming wind pressure, this then can lose two three Meters/second speed of air flow, cause its own turbulence situation and even tip stall(swing around opposite facing direction suddenly) the turbine and loose massive speed as it did often on the test pole here!!!

[IMPORTANT NOTE: Recently i have found an inverter that will operate the 32Lt. Microwave at 240v AC from 12v , it requires to be a LF low frequency pure sine wave of 6000w continuous and 12000 watts surge rating - found on ebay DOT com DOT au]
The before mentioned(if in a video here) microwave oven(32 Lt. max - 2300w output convection) ran for a few seconds then switched off. It seems inclusive when at 50 percent power it takes short bursts of 3600w but also drops to 500w intermittently. I then put my PC on the inverter successfully operating software i have written.
Other things operated successfully as test by the inverter (completely) were a 1000w grill element oven(cooked sausages for 1/2 an hour) and a 2300w vacuum cleaner plane sux for 15 minutes(or until battery too low if i want).")

Initial testing of tiny hybrid(wind solar) off grid power system generators. Using a 300w 3 phase(correction) Hyacinth 6 blade 12 volt AC three phase wind turbine and 3 x 80w 12v panels.
On a 3.5 meter pole.
It is quite true that if the modern house were not connected to the grid , a 2Kw solar controller and a 2Kw wind controller(wind turbine mounted at least 12 meter high or 15 meter above trees) at 48v battery and and (2 x 8Kw inverter -Warn never never join outputs together of two individual inverters to raise power or damage will result!!!! - each are separate and would be out of phase - use the correct size for the job) could be used by replacing inbuilt oven and grill with a 2000w electric hot plate for saucepan, a 1000w accessory grill, a 2000w fry-pan, and a 1100w microwave-grill oven(Warn! - these can draw around 4000w for a period of seconds in use), 1500w kettle, and last but not least a 160 Litre Dux hot water system with a 2400w element.
You can near do that from a set of 2500w inverters. What remains is the computer 500w ,lights=1000w and the TV and air-conditioner would need to be a portable. The battery bank would need to be at least 24 x 80ah deep cycle with a 10 year life-cycle at 20 degrees Celsius and 1400-30-percent-DOD rating. A large number of jobs would be one after the other. Refrigerators and freezers are can be found reasonable size for good energy consumption - e.g. 400 - 500Kwh per annum .
