my queen has hatched ......

[prana vallabha]

the queen cell in the hive that i chose has now hatched , so now the wait and hope for a few warm days so she can mate.......fingers crossed

 

[REDWOOD]

Great news now the waiting game, there are a few periods of dry weather over the next few days for south wales so fingers crossed

 

[prana vallabha]

i hope so ,,,,,,

dont open the hive for a few weeks so they have time to settle down if/when she gets mated.

And if she doesn't....a well established drone layer and messed up frames. A fortnight is enough....

Ha, this is like a Welsh only thread atm

Fingers crossed for the weather, it's been pretty good here (compared to other parts of the country) so hopefully she'll get out to do the business

pretty grim here today (continuing the Welsh theme). i saw a virgin queen emerge during an inspection 2 days ago, so am keeping my fingers crossed for an improvement in the weather soon....

Yes - and the morning started so promising as well - managed to inspect most of my (rapidly) expanding apairy before the rain came.
Note to self: in future check apairy and bait hives before answering PM's !!
