Mama Bee and me
Mama bee & Me
Well over the weekend, Ryan and I checked all the hives and due to the weight in Queen Vanessa's hive I was not able to do hive check the past two weeks. Ryan and I both had to lift the top super to get to the bottom and as I was checking the frames I notice that they was not eggs, larvae, or brood! A very big red flag! After going through the entire hive I came to the conclusion that Vanessa was MIA.
One quick phone call to my friend Marty and I would have a new mated Queen the next day, Monday. So I have not a clue why we have lost two Queens this year. I thought on Queen Latifah was that I most likely squished her or injured her while learning how to handle the frames. But, am not sure what happened in Queen Vanessa's hive since I had not checked it in two weeks. So round two....ding...ding!
