2025 Marked Queen

2025-06-21 Found the queen and marked her. Eggs and larvae in all stages.

2025-06-13 Saw eggs no signs of swarming. Saw the queen, she is a nice dark colour.

2025-06-07 Laying queen with brood at all stages of development.

2025-05-13 It seems all the bees have ended up in here so I swapped position with Regina to give the old queen some more bees. It might be too late because she should be on her mating flight around now.

2025-05-04 Culled queen cells. Left one on the bottom of the cull frame marked with a white pin. There aren’t that many bees in there, maybe 3 seams of bees. It could easily be just a nuc.

2025-04-28 Frames with queen cells and eggs from Regina to raise an emergency queen. There are loads of bees so it should be fine.
