Hi Everyone,

Well the 2 queen hive is roaring along.  I set-up 2 nucs to develop into a full hive.  And they are doing just that.  The nectar flow here in Eastern Ontario is very good in my area. I had to throw a deep and a medium box on.  My newly requeened carny hive has run into some problems, the queen has vanished.  After 7 days I went into the hive and removed the cage. and I pulled 1 frame out and saw eggs so I was happy. I didn't bother looking any farther.   I didn't see her on the frame either.  2 weeks later I have no eggs just capped.  I'll be glad to get my yard back to strength so I can make my own nucs for just such an emergency.  I'm still suffering from the winter of 2002/3.   I'm having a seamstress make up a small bee suit for my son age 6.  I'm tired of telling him to get back :)
