This is a queen introduction picture from today they were introducted last night. Any comments on how you think the other bees are reacting to her?
what I want to do is get her released in the next few days and add two other queenless hives to this hive. by doing a newspaper combination.
to those of you with more experiance than I can I get your input on this?
the last picture is of bees cleening up the frames after they were spun out.

I like the newspaper combine plan better than your shake out plan. They look like they're feeding her but another day isn't going to hurt.
I just checked 4 hives I re-queen end Monday and had to release one. The others were out in about 48 hours. They have all been accepted.
That's a good picture. Did you get that with a phone camera?
Thanks for the info. The picture was taken with my D90 camera. These bees are very calm from the time of the cut out till now. Too bad I missed the queen
i'm a canon man.
