 :photos: How warm was it when you went through? I'm just dying to, but barely above freezing here most days yet.

This is fab, really  helping to  train the eye as to who to look for.  I'm sure it will be a bit different when I'm going through my needle in a hay stack.

I have a great eye for the queen, it took me 3 years, but now I can find her every time if I want.
Most times I look for eggs and that's as far as I go unless I want to take some pics.

Nice pictures it is hard to get the bees to cooperate and not climb over or on the queen while trying to take a picture. Thanks for sharing.
