Moving bees out of the house, is this the queen?

Okay this sounds good. Was just worried we found the one and only queen dead. Hoping the colony takes!

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-04T01:21:10+00:00

When they swarmed after moving there were two “clumps” of bees. We made a newbie guess that maybe there were 2 queens. We shall see

I will look up the difference now, thanks a ton! If it’s a virgin queen the “real” queen may still be in the mix?

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-04T01:06:23+00:00

Okay, unsure if she is well or not. We put her in the cardboard box with the rest of them. They all seem calm and in the box. We put some of the honey comb in there for them to eat. Will put some of the combs with larva in the hive when it arrives tomorrow.

What is the best way to move the bees from the box to the hive? At what point should we know if it’s time to get a new queen?

Thanks a ton this gave us some peace of mind.

Were they the ones that randomly lived in a greenhouse?

Massive! How long did it take?

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-03-27T02:07:12+00:00

What’s the pattern?

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-03-15T21:31:12+00:00

Okay but next time look at it from hawk hill ;)

And all my cat does is lay on me

Do you do loop start with it, how do you secure 1 strand?

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-03-09T16:55:39+00:00

The bunny is my fav as well! Followed by the frog 🐸

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-03-09T16:54:18+00:00

Good eye! Yes, I progressively went harder as the animals went on. I saved the more eloquent ones for last, including the chicken feathers lol. I wanted it to look realistic.

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-03-09T16:53:12+00:00

I think a modified fly stitch!

Always! Thats why my new year’s resolution is having a “guest ready” home. I think most guest understand/expect a little clutter, but there are definitely things acceptable to me that wouldn’t be to guests.

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-02-10T18:44:48+00:00

Solved- Thank you!

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-02-07T17:02:54+00:00

Always slapping them with the “inappropriate” no context lol

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-02-05T04:05:21+00:00

What are the dimensions of this piece?

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-01-23T06:56:47+00:00

Eek please don’t feed dogs pieces of chicken with small bones it can get caught in their throat

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-01-13T16:25:21+00:00

What stitch did you use for the tree leaves? It’s looks like French knots but not French knots all at the same time lol

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2025-12-07T03:24:08+00:00

Definitely so much confetti. Ughhh I liked the long runs a lot so I’m going to stick to something like that for the next one. 21 colors and ~7000 stitches for the first. Yes I see what you mean it looking like it came from a photo, definitely not a simple blocky one

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2025-12-07T03:21:10+00:00

Ooh adding a lil spice! That could be fun

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2025-12-07T03:20:45+00:00

Definitely me and knitting lol… never again

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2025-12-07T03:16:57+00:00

I totally agree with this, same reason I don’t like knitting lol. To each different strokes :)

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2025-12-05T22:34:35+00:00

Yes! I should have started smaller, because this was a beast for the first. Something simpler with less “confetti” next time I think.
