I Checked Again but no Queen
Again, I couldn't find the queen. I suspect that she's been hiding in the burr comb but, I don't know. I trimmed it all and still couldn't find her so I gave up. I did, however get some interesting photos.
As you can see, the frame has bees, brood and honey. The other picture is of the slot created when I removed the frame. thousands of bees are clinging to the sides of the frame and wall. Nothing out of the ordinary happened out at the hive exept, my smoker went out three times(I've been packing it to tight.) and I had a friend ask to come along. Granted, she wouldn't approach the hive without wearing a pair of jeens, shirt, overcoat, gloves and a veil, but, it was a step. Anyways, I did a major brood disection with some burr comb. There were about 300 larvae and pupae. None had varroa mites and only one had sacbrood so, I think the bees are staying on top of the diseases.

I'm thinking about deleting this spam...on the other hand, it is the LONGEST SPAM POST I'VE EVER SEEN!
I think I'm going to send this person an annoying E-mail.
I think a BEEmail would be more appropriate.
ROFL..that's a good one...
