Hi all

Just returned from Ireland yesterday.  Before I left on April 26 I  
split 4 hives using walk away method.  These hives were in triple  
brood boxes and would have been in the trees before I returned.  I  
didn't worry about the swarming while away but am now worried about  
the weather for the mating flight.  Today would have been the day and  
it was cool(10C) with showers this afternoon.  I figured on 7 days  
after emergence but didn't know what happens if a good flight day  
occurs before or after that date.  There were plenty of drones in all  
hives on April 24            ( March was a great month for bees)
