Waxwings Apiary

The new hive at Waxwings (Frome Hive) is home to our virgin queen cast. They have been in residence for just over 3 weeks now. Last time we  had a quick look there were polished cells ready for eggs, but we didn't see the queen or eggs. Yesterday however there were eggs and very small larvae. We didn't stay in the hive long- the weather was not brilliant and we didn't want to disturb them too much- so we only checked there were enough stores and room until next time and then left them to it!

    They seemed very calm today (Monday) and watched pollen going in.

    I am very hopeful- there were nice little larvae in there- will check on Saturday to see how they are going.
