90, humid yesterday.

Still no evidence of a queen in Edinburgh. London still producing eggs, and various stages of larva and capped brood observed. No comb drawn in the supers yet.

Rumors

Heard from a coworker that a hivekeeper-friend in St Paul is reporting similar swarming problems.

All Hail the Queen


90s, humid, sporadic rain.

New queen cleanly hatched out of Edingburgh, the rest of the frames are mostly capped honey (scraped one open by accident during inspection) and past brood cells rapidly being filled. Not sure if new queen will be able to hatch much brood before fall.

London still has eggs, and a queen. Lots of activity but no comb in supers.
