Day 40
We opened the hive today, 15 days after opening it last time and finding the new Queen. Not 100 percent sure what we found: plenty of honey (capped and uncapped), lots of pollen. Tons of pebbly drone cells, lots of larvae of various stages, maybe a few regular capped cells? We went through the seven bars and didn't see the queen, but then Claire spotted her as we replaced the bars in the original spots. She looked good! We were glad that she was on comb with no drone cells... Is that good???
