2023-04-18 Sold.
2023-04-15 Squeezed down on to 10 frames of brood and one of honey.
2023-04-13 About 6 frames with brood in the top, 4 frames in the bottom. Saw the queen and eggs.
2023-02-18 Candy all gone so I put on a feeder.
2023-01-02 API-Bioxal (oxalic acid treatment) and candy block.
2022-09-18 Took off the Apiguard treatment.
2022-08-28 Added the second Apiguard treatment.
2022-08-14 Merged with 11 frames from Yulinar and added the first Apiguard treatment.
2022-07-24 Added another frame to make them up to 11 and added a feeder so they can draw the frame.
2022-07-23 Saw eggs and brood, didn’t see the queen. Could do with another frame to make them up to 11.
2022-07-16 Saw eggs and brood, looking fine still covering about 4 frames.
2022-07-08 Found the new queen and marked her. They are covering about 4 frames.
2022-06-04 There are only enough bees to cover a couple of frames. They seem pissed and are filling the cells with nectar, not preparing for a laying queen. I am suspicious so we added a queen cell and some brood from Whitney. The queen cell is on the bottom of frame 6 (counting from the south) and marked with a black pin. Check in 35 days. Also added a feeder because it is such a small colony.
Culled down to a single queen cell on the north side of frame 4 counting from the south. Marked with a white pin.
2022-06-02 Swarm from Winnie.
