So, for the past month I've been dealing with the two Orchard hive losing their queens. At a loss as to why they disappeared however replaced the twice and finally one took and the other hive finally got tired and made their own. They did this with the help of myself by me giving them brand new brood from which they made queen cells from.
So today harvested a couple more frames of honey and saw that one hive gas eggs and is doing well and the other has a new queen. Yet to make her virgin flight, so hoping for the best.
So far I have harvested about 50lbs if honey. Will start bottling soon.
Also caught some wild bees at the Kelly residence with the help of Clarence. He was moving them in to a new box this week.
