Tina

Tina's bees have moved up into their new brood box well and are working hard drawing out the combs that have new foundation. In the bottom box they are still making queen cups and given some more good sunny weather may well start to get into swarm mode. It will be a good idea to have a nuc box ready for the next time they are inspected.

Both of the queen cells that were left behind when Tina was moved did hatch into new queens and mated successfully. One has gone to Jonty in wiltshire. The other is still on Tina's plot.
