Mary, Myrina, QC, Nuc #5, Heléna, Nuc #6, Nuc'd Swarm
72°F
Cloudy
Calm
Myrina has not moved up into new medium box yet. Gave her another gallon of 1:1 syrup.
Mary has lots of eggs and pretty brood patterns. She's really coming back online.
Queen Castle (2nd) still has two capped Queen cells. Added more 1:1 syrup.
Queen Castle (1st) received a frame from Nuc # 5 with several large capped Queen cells and a honey & nectar frame. Added 1:1 syrup
Nuc # 5 may no longer be Queenless. Some eggs were found on a frame in top box. The bottom box had a frame with Queen cells. The frame and another honey frame were placed in the QC. Lots of bees. 'Boiling' behavior observed.
Heléna is Post Swarm. Her top Honey super remains undrawn. It was removed. One Honey super is still on about half drawn out. It was placed between both brood boxes. Her population is good in spite of the swarm. Other than a hatched Swarm cell a hatched Supersedure cell was found. Bees making more Supersedure cells. Some 'Boiling' behavior.
Nuc #6 has seven torn down Swarm cells and a hatched Supersedure cell. She also has TWO queens. The old white marked one & the new virgin one. The old queen is still laying her butt off. High population.
Nuc'd Swarm is loaded with Laying workers. Some drone sized cells may have had fifteen to twenty eggs in them. No Queen was found though they have drawn out all five frames. These bees will be dumped out in front of my Neighbors weak hive this week. It is gone, done, finis.
Plan to inspect Melissa in a day or two.
