Thanks Jen, you requested the video.

I lust had a thought. I should tape the side back onto the ice chest and set it out as a swarm trap, huh?

Do they (thoughts) hurt you as bad as they hurt me..?

Now we know that the queen will lay in comb that is turned upside down. It's been 4 weeks since I flipped the ice chest upside down. Should not have been any capped brood in there.

Yes, they do in fact!


   I wonder if it is a matter of not having any choice?  She put eggs in those cells because she had NO other place to put them?

I had a deep sitting o top with some pulled comb in it. Iddee was thinking that she would stop laying in bottom and move up into top box.

She did lay up there, but also kept laying in bottom.
