Last week Hilary collected four large jars of honey, but noticed one hive was not very active. This week she is spending with Max, her two month old nephew, in the cities. Paul checked the hive and replaced the queen, since no queen could be found and the workers were making excess drones, see picture of bullet shape cells. ( for the queen next door?) The bees were not happy and expressed that by giving a few stings. In a few days we will open the hive to check the new queen.
