Last day of April

Today was a nice day to check bees. Temps in low 70's and hardly a breeze. Not a whole lot of progress since last week, except eggs are still being laid and brood progressing nicely. I believe numbers are slightly smaller or many bees were out of the hive during my usual late afternoon visit. Their numbers should increase with this new crop of emerging workers. I finely spotted my number 1 queen all by myself. Hadn't done so until this point. I did not see the number 2 queen, but it looks like many eggs are laid and a lot of capped brood, soon to emerge.
