Today we inspected both Hives. We had a special guest, Katherine Finn, join us for these inspections. She did a great job working the smoker and helping us look for our Queen. Hive 1 one had multiple Queen cells mid-frame. One had a large larvae in it. There is no sign of our Queen. This hive appears to be Queenless once again.
Hive 2 in thriving and we will add a Super next weekend.
Watch the video to see what we saw and how we came to our conclusions:
