6 great hives!
Flower Power, Old Faithful, Garden Party, Magic Bus and Candy Land
All laying, working and growing.
The sixth, Flower Child,
the newest split may not have raised a successful queen.
We gave her a frame of queen cells and eggs to do the bee thing with.

Best part of the day!
Finally some shots of the tiny mighty queen!

The Itty Bitty Magic Bus queen
being fed.

She and a sister(s) must have emerged overnight.
3 Cells were sealed yesterday.





Today, we find a swarm above the queen excluder,
Attached to the inner cover,
Virgin queen and all!
My tool is pointing to the little queen,
But she is moving fast.
We had pulled a few frames yesterday.
Could the honey
