 :( Looks like my little catch has no queen. Looks like about a thousand bees or better working to no end without their leader.
Psalm 19:9-10
The fear of the Lord is clean,enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea ,than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

The swarm may have in fact been much larger than what you were left with because it left & what you have are its remnants. I sent you a PM James.

I'd rather hang with bees than with someone who has crabs too! :-D

"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."

My first little swarm catch has grown a bit but stil have not determined if they have a queen. They are cross combing and may have to do cut out to place in a lang. Used cotton string with wax on top bars but switched to cove molding and when they hit the first bar of cove mold they appear to be straightening out themselves. I will get in soon to check for queen. Just got in my bee suit and will get a good look.
