We recieved the package of bees from Walter Kelly on Monday. Upon inspection, we found that the Queen cage was empty except for a few dead attendant bees. The replacement Queen came yesterday so we put her in the hive. We will inspect the hive on Sunday and will release her then. Will also start feeding them with 1:1 sugar syrup.
The activity around the main hive was much more than has been all spring. That is a good sign.
