received three foreign queens from the post - all the way from the far West of Wales so had to brave the drizzle to requeen a few colonies with mediocre to poor queens - first one I opened at the home apiary which has not been regularly inspected the last month or so due to the fact they weren't going anywhere and I've been a it busy had taken matters into their own hands - already had a new home grown queen which had started laying!!. Others went to plan so now have two requeened colonies and a nuc all of which will be left for a few days before the candy gets uncovered.
