The new colony is packed with bees and I added one honey box. I am not sure thought I really have a queen in there. In the process of removing 2 frames I saw two filled queen cells, which where opened in the process ==> destroyed the queens. I stopped checking after this, hoping that there will be more queen cells. I will have to see.

Bee checkup March 8th 2014
I thought I share another time-laps of my weekly checkup.
The splits are doing as expected, but I don't see any fresh eggs yet. It is still early, only 21 days since I split, but I can't wait anymore to find out!!!
