Hive Check

     So today I checked the hives today.  My bees were not the happiest bees.  I got stung twice.  I found my pretty queen.  They had eaten all of their pollen patties, and they drank all of their sugar syrup.  I gave them a gallon more of sugar syrup.  I did not however put another pollen patty in the hive.  I found lots of eggs, larvae, and capped brood.  I also found a frame with four swarm cells on it.  I decided to split my hives.  I took a few frames out of my hive, and I stole a frame of honey from my parent's hive.  So we'll just have to wait and see how that turns out.

My hive split.  I got the nuke from one of my mentors.
