Hi All,
Just a quick update-I had to get back into the hive with the "maybe yes,
maybe no queen" Sunday evening for reasons that are not important to this.
There were eggs and, lo and behold, a big, beautiful, dark queen with a big
yellow dot on her thorax.  Yes, she is alive and well in the hive and
laying.  I guess I get a bit antsy over things like this.

Thanks  for all of the input.  Everyone who said "she's there", "be
patient"-you were right.  If patience is a virtue, I guess I need to work on
it a bit harder!
