Tina seen and doing well and had a super of unwired foundation put on.

Georges bees are progressing quite nicely and had a super of unwired foundation put on.

There is a queen in the laburnum swarm and I have marked her green. I'm glad these bees they have their own queen as they are quite different to my mostly black bees in that they are very yellow. The queen is quite small and looks very similar the workers. They seem to be waiting for something to happen at the moment and she is not laying a lot of eggs - if any. There are eggs on the frame I introduced - but are they hers? I'm not sure if she is a mated queen or not. I hope she is as marking a virgin queen is probably not a good idea. Link
