Title: Queen Includer
Post by: JPthebeeman on July 26, 2015, 11:20:55 pm

Vacuumed the queen from yesterday's removal as she was too far into the void for me to catch her by hand.

No worries, placed a queen excluder atop the bottom board to keep her in.

Watched them swarm out earlier today but with a grin on my face knowing they'd be back!

Kind of a comfortable feeling when they try to leave without their queen.  ;D

JP, what is that you have in the boardman feeder?  It looks like some dark rum!
