Bee time!

Did a split with the hive we have at home, and set the split up as a nucleus at Neil and Denise's at Glen Huon - we'll see how the new hive goes.
The bees are laying up honey and raising brood at a great rate.
Opened the top-bar hive and it is over 80% full of brood and honey.  I cleaned out the cross combed bars and am about to bottle our first few kgs of honey for the season.  Not much, but there's something exciting about the first small harvest of the season.
I'll check the other hives and check on the progress of the split later in the week.
