Carol was worried about the first queen - of swarming fame - from this cold spring so a new queen was ordered - and delivered by UPS today - and then late this afternoon way ensconced into her new home - the 'pi' box on the left - with a couple of frames of bees and comb from the thriving hive on the right. Since we did not want the old new queen killed we got a so-called Nuc box from Pristine farm and moved a frame on which she was definitely visible from the 'pi' box to the Nuc box and again with a couple of frames from the original hive. A bit more on Nuc boxes in the next posting.
