Frustrated with the weather

What rubbish weather! I have psyched myself up to try and find the Queen and it wont stop raining. Just before the bad weather started Liam and I had a quick look inside the hive without removing any frames. We took the decision to add a super as the bees were now moving over all the frames and it felt heavy and looked busy.

However, we decided to put the Queen Excluder on, and then immediately thought we had made the wrong decision but it is too wet to change it! I am not sure that the bees will go into the Super as we used foundation that was only half drawn out from last Summer.

I am waiting for 5 minutes of sunshine to go and remove it but it is not looking promising...
