This is how well some of the splits were doing about 4 weeks ago. You can see here this queen didn't like laying where the support wire is embedded in the wax. They've since all had and filled extension brood boxes and are ready for full size boxes plus supers.

@HereBeDragons3 Brings back memories... Matmos PC, my first CP/M machine with its external floppy drives, running NewWord (WordStar clone) word processor. Still have some of its floppies!

@OGHoney_LLC It's never nice finding a colony has died due to lack of stores or isolation starvation. And if the weather is mild be extra vigilant as they'll soon chomp through their stores. Just learn from it and move on.

@BlackDogHoney Just curious. Why take the cocoons out rather than simply keep them in the bee hotel somewhere cool and dry and let the hatch naturally in the spring?

[Steve Hunt @BeeMagnet]

@HydeHives Like it! Maybe have the info board a little lower for the kids to see more easily?
