Miller method update: bees built two queen cells, so we set them off so the winning queen doesn't have to compete with an established queen in the parent hive. About 10 days and she will emerge and be laying in 15 days...stay tuned.

Update on the CC Miller method of developing queens - The bees have built out the little wax triangles I made and inserted. They have stored honey plus eggs and larvae! Moved this "raw material" to an upper box to see if the bees develop queen cells now...stay tuned becuase will be checking Dad's Day weekend!

"Yellow legs" coming into a swarm box...that means some swarm took up residence and foragers are bringing in protein (pollen - all colors including yellow) to feed baby bees (brood).They were too fast to get a clean picture.
