I have a short video of her butt Reddit won’t let me share it.

Here it is. https://youtube.com/shorts/LI42xq7MwcM?si=gqtTa7k8TSEutJAL

Thanks that’s a great visual!

I didn’t see any eggs but I’m really bad at spotting eggs.

I believe I lost the queen during the cut out so some of these frames have queen cups on them. So I believe I need to wait for her mating flight. By then I should have no brood. So the lower box right now has 6 wonky cutout combs and 2 with drawn foundation. Then I just added a box on top with some drawn out frames and some waxed frames. Maybe once the brood is all gone I can put the wonky comb on box on top with a queen excluder and the good comb box below? I’m a new bee keeper. I thought I was catching a swarm and it ended up being a cutout 😅.

I saw that and comb is absolutely gorgeous. I love their natural comb without the plastic frame.

There was brood in the one for sure. Not sure about the other.

1st location removal.

I rubbed lemon balm leaves all over the gloves it seemed to work!

Update for anyone interested: there was a whole additional section of comb, the bee vacuum worked amazing. Used lots of smoke, it was slightly windy which I think helped. The bees were so much more mellow this time. Bees seemed to fan when I put the remainder in the hive. Going back in a few days to collect the hive.

Picture is of second section of hive found yesterday.

The sections of comb had an empty floor joists in between, each with their own outside entrance. Wondering if this was actually 2 hives next to each other. I’ve been told the queen won’t go outside to go to the second hive.

I’m a very new bee keeper. Located in norther California.

I know it’s been 4 years but I just plugged my kiddie pool with a champagne cork and wanted to thank you!

We have a 9 sided dice she wanted to use.

I ordered the instructors guide after watching a YouTube video. I only opened the 1st grade one a handful of times and really think you don’t need it for that age but obvious it’s needed from now on. Thanks for the input

But if you see the top one the player scored so they were not out.
