i just am so happy. those two swarms i picked up last week both have queens! not only that, the attack bees were so nice today. amazing what warmth and food will do. i went to the hives prepared to combine that one with the other. i was sure that the queen could not have survived the trauma of the weather and removal. there she was. fat and black and laying :-D
That sure is great news Kathy!

BEE HAPPY Jim 134 :)
thanks guys. i know it's silly, but i have never missed a queen with a swarm. sometimes they have been virgins, but i have always gotten them. i thought this would be a blotch on my record. :evil:
