The weather for the weekend was perfect. Mild, sunny, still, autumn at its best.
I'm pleased to say the two new queens I introduced last Thursday week were accepted and they are laying well. A beautiful thing to see. The colony at Leanne's place which has been difficult to handle for a long time were docile and content on Saturday when I checked. Amazing really, because the bees are still all the progeny of the old queen, but the new introduced queen seems to have worked a spell over them. Her newly laid brood will not be born for a couple of weeks but the hive seems already transformed from savage to calm.
