2019 02 21 – New Queens

I received my new Queens from Old Sol Bees, (via the club), today.

I installed one in Hive 1 and one in Hive 2. I moved the Queen from Hive 8 into a nuc, 7a*, and added a new Queen to Hive 8. Hive 8 had been a very spotty layer since I purchased the nuc in April, so I am hoping a new Queen will set them up better to survive fall/winter. I also split Hive 1 and created a new Hive 5 with the Queen from Hive 1. The old Hive 5 is now Hive 7b*.

* Hive 7 is a 10 frame nuc with a separator board creating 2 nucs.
