Removed All 3 Queen Cages
« 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




I like this pic cause all I see is wood frames  ;D
