Box flip on the small hive seems to have been a success. they still have too many empty frames, but I am feeding sugar water, goldenrod is coming in and they are building some comb. They also donated the frame of eggs for the trap out. Unless I end up with a queen (in which case I do not know what to do) I will be merging the trap out bees with my smaller hive.

Appears the cutout bees might have a queen.  Feeding as they take the syrup and they are sucking it up. Need comb drawn and need to decide who goes where for winter.
