It seems they took to they high dollar queen.
I added the extra comb from the hive I compressed to some of my other hives.
The one on the right is the hive I combined the swarm I caught the other week with. It had been queenless, but they accepted the swarm, and I put a deep of drawn under the queen X to let them start on some winter bees when they are ready.
The middle hive is raising QCs in the bottom two boxes under an excluder.
The left hive, I added two mediums of drawn from the compressed hive below the Queen X. They are also recovering from being queenless. They have a queen, I may not be impressed with her, but they have a queen. That is a hot hive too. I’m not sure if it’s just August and they have honey, or if it’s the bees. I can’t imagine any of the new queens brood is actually emerged yet. She haven’t been queen that long.
