I went into my hive yesterday, and had to reverse my brood chambers. Still
lots of honey, bees carrying pollen (this is central Indiana, and the maple
trees are just breaking out), and laid brood.
This was my first winter, and since I let her loose, I'd not been able to
find the queen. Yesterday I did, and she is now marked, courtesy of a drop
of white-out. Apistan strips have been in for two weeks now, and I'm
anticipating a strong strong year.
