  1. The moved box of bees has hatched some drones and is slowly eating their fondant and pollen patty. They seemed pretty calm so maybe the queen was in this box. It's on top of the bottom box of a dead out that I left 4 frames with honey in plus the empty brood comb. It came from a full hive that received a full box of honey as the new upstairs. No foraging but I have seen them do cleansing flights and then return.

  6. The Green nuc hive was bearding a little today so I put them in a 10-frame deep box. 3+ frames capped brood so I guess the new queen is good.

    The nucs were started 4 weeks ago with swarm cells/queens. In 1 week all that capped brood should start emerging.

    I stacked the Green nuc box on top of the White nuc but it's progressing a lot slower. It started with 2 frames of bees instead of 3 like the Green nuc.

  11. What do you think? A queen?

    Returning from a mating flight.. It's been 5 days since frames with queen cells were put in the nuc but maybe she was already emerged and I didn't see her. They say 6 days to mature but these are bees so they have their own plans.
