Today it was very gratifying for me to do an inspection on the small swarm hive. The queen is quite busy. I did not see Her Majesty, but she is obviously hard at work.
The first picture shows both brood and eggs.
In the second picture you can see very young brood in the upper center of the photo as well as eggs. I don't know how Halil Bilen
put numbers on his cells in his wonderful post on his blog, but in the center picture if you look hard you can see the stages from days 1 -4 represented between the upper bees in the picture. Again in this picture there are eggs everywhere there is an empty cell.I'm so proud of this little hive for surviving and creating their own queen after the earlier tragedy.
