Did you do anything with the queen cells?
You didn't have to. I am just curious.

most were on one frame.  all but one were cracked open and had dead bodies in them.  the last had a pin size hole, so i am assuming it was in the same state.  in the bottom super, i found some more cells that i had missed.  that super was abandoned for lack of bees and the frames had mold.  i pulled the entire super and threw the frames in the freezer with the couple i'd taken from the top. 

they seemed very happy to have a new queen in there.  hope they don't smother her with love :-).  i'll turn her out tomorrow and hope i'm not to late.

Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.
