Queen cells and more queen cells found tonight. Needed to check hive C tonight for queen cells and break down all but two of them. This is the hive that I dispatched the queen from last week. The picture below shows the queen cells right where we notched. I will check this hive again around July 23 for a laying queen. She needs time to emerge, take her mating flights, return to hive and start laying.
I am enjoying the bees immensely. I scout out my yard each day, looking for them in the garden or among my flowers. Today they found the lavender and my buttercup squash.
