The hive seems to be developing a little slowly because of the cool damp weather, but it is developing well, with new brood, pollen and nectar filling the comb. So it is distressing to see the queen cell still hanging on the frame... are the bees really discontent with their queen? Ilana and I love queen Isabella and hope they don't depose her. I suppose we are bee royalists.
There seems to be more bees in the hive (this is good) but the young bees are a little funny looking. Their eyes are kind of far apart and their heads are fuzzy.
We caught this little gal chewing her way out of the comb. Welcome to the hive newbe(e)!
