[QUOTE="Josh, post: 10631, member: 16"] It does depend on what the question is. For hive “strength” take off the top cover and take a photo down on the frames (don’t smoke or disturb, this will show the number of frames covered etc) Then a photo of a “typical” frame of brood covered in bees. And finally shake of the majority of bees (like an AFB check) so we can see the brood area to get an idea of laying pattern, signs of disease etc. The more experienced guys will have other suggestions maybe. Also look back in the historical posts and archives and you’ll see examples of what people have photographed before. [/QUOTE]
