I haven't seen any foragers coming in with pollen for a few days, there's lots of drone, several queen cells and a whole mess of bees hanging out on the outside of the hive.
The queen cells haven't been capped yet but I think it's almost time...
The newest conundrum: A pair of little wrens decided to move in to one of the two empty baited hives.
Not the tenants I was hoping for but pretty special nonetheless. I removed the twigs once already before this egg showed up. They wouldn't take no for an answer.
