have not fed since february. I only did it then to get the queen started laying so I could split. I have added deeps to both parts of the split, and have still not fed. They have been slow at building up the foundation, but they are getting there. The queen right hive got the deep first, and I just ...

Those boys like MACHO bees. They don't want those gentle, sissy bees. :D I just hope they confirmed eggs in the frame they moved. They can't make a queen from larva more then a few days old. Jessica's hive is one I vacuumed out of a house last year. I may have damaged her in the vacuum system. If so...
