Hi!! This is Jared. Mom says I need to make sure to let everyone know that my nuc looks really good now and they have built 6 queen cells but I could only see any bee baby in 4 of them. I didn't see any shb or wax moth stuff this time and there weren't any ants either. So far it looks really good!! I hope they make a good queen and then I can turn this back into a hive when they get stronger.

Hey Wally, Taeler's bees and Caleb's bees together in one box look really great! 8) They were fairly mellow today too.

Hey Jared sounds like you have a good nuc started. But best of all you are getting a lot of experience. I hope you keep reading the forum so you can start helping us when we need help. Keep up the good work.

Sounds great. You will want to keep a check on their food. They won't be producing any new foraging bees until about July 1. Feed them if they need it.

Hello, it's mama this time.
We'll make sure they have some food if they need it. The bees really look pretty good though and there were quite a few more than what I thought there would be. To me it looks hopeful.... well at least a lot more hopeful than what it did look before!

Thanks for all your help!!!
