Saturday I went to check on my queen cage. The candy plug on it was eaten through but not enough for the queen to get out. She was looking well fed and the bees were very much interested in her. As the picture shows, I had the queen cage jammed into the surrounding wax.

This is one of the frames I pulled out. It looks ready for the queen to start laying eggs.

The evening was quite interesting. I partially took care of the skunk epidemic on the farm by using the "high speed lead poisoning" method. What a stinky job!
