Title: Removed All 3 Queen Cages
Post by: Jen on May 04, 2014, 09:02:44 pm

 Removed the last two queen cages today. Opening up the hive to retrieve queen cages is like opening up a diamond ring that you didn't pick out...  You reeeealy hope our gonna like what you see... I DID  ;D

All cages empty, not a speck of candy left  ;D
