Released the Queens

Visited the colonies today with boys on their last day of Spring Break. Big day for colonies as I released both queens. Both seemed healthy and were still blocked by the candy plugs within their cages. I placed both in the central part of colony. Colony 1 had a nice comb started. Guessing maybe 3" by 2" shaped like an oval. Alex took some pictures and when he filled the card, he and Jackson fed the neighboring horses while I gathered my tools and closed the supers. Hope they huddle tonight as lows will reach freezing.
