Kelly Bright Eyes -
Wow - thanks for sharing the excitement. I needed it today.
You are doing just great!
Where are you located? For much of the country you should be using
1:1 sugar to water, if anything. You probably need to look inside
and see if they have adequate honey, and room to expand.
In many parts of the country, a call to the State apiculturist to register
your hive might elicit a visit from an inspector who could help you look
(on the guise of making sure there are no diseases). Or they could refer
you to a local beekeepers association and a call could convince an old hand
to give you a lesson.
Otherwise, it sounds like you have been reading, and are in for a treat.
Bees are a hardy lot, and most manage to survive despite novices. Try not
to injure the queen, however.
