So thrilled and relieved to see more brood and comb, an expanding population, and--best of all--the queen among her workers. 💛🐝💛 #bees #bees2017 #notahomestead

An empty queen cage--and, for the first time in weeks--brood in all stages of development, from brand new eggs to capped cells. I think re-queening was successful. Fingers crossed that we're back on track. #bees #bees2017

Bees, brood, and comb. #bees #bees2017 #notahomestead

Our first peek inside the hive post-installation. They're starting to draw out comb in the middle frames The owl duct tape is keeping the queen cage in place for now. #bees #bees2017 #notahomestead
