Added honey supers to two hives. One at vineyard and Sparrow's Nest. Swarm hive from yard was moved to SN and queen is laying well! Other hive there seems well and that was where I added on honey super. 72 degrees and very breezy.
Vineyard had yard split. Bees seem well, however did not see any queen cells, maybe one small one. Ferrel hive doing well. Took eggs and added to split. Also took eggs/brood and added to last years Italians that seemed queen less.
Came home and checked yard hive. Still not happy to see me, but they seem like they wanted queen out of cage. Took cork out and they had already eaten much much of the sugar block within cage. I'm sure she was out within the hour after. Crossing my fingers that she will do well and calm that hive down. Busy 90 minutes.
