noticed after the last hatching that there was less brood.  seems the numbers are down also.  figured the queen was failing.  don't see any queen cells.  guess i'll have to go pull a frame of eggs for them.

that's not the interesting thing:  i saw the queen walking around the comb.  the bees around her were not attending to her, but seemed to be herding her around.  they were agitated.  they eventually drove her around the back and i lost track.  new thing for me to see.  sure do love this hive.

Are they preparing to swarm??? They will run the queen around like that to get her into flight shape.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

i don't think so.  i see no swarm cells, although there could be some hidden behind the frame.  on the chance that they might, i have put a swarm trap out.  if they do, it will be a small swarm!
