eggs - no eggs - split

Checked on the small swarm colony today and found the queen. She's light with dark bands (her thorax is visible in the bottom left quadrant of this picture). She's been busy laying eggs and the girls have been busy building comb.

i checked on the tree cutout colony today also. No sign of queen. No eggs. I pulled a couple frames of eggs from the house cutout hive. We'll see what they do.

I checked on the house coutout hive today also. Huge colony. Brood everywhere!!! I added 2 medium supers with starter comb.

checked on the hive at brents. they were very busy at the entrance. Several drones. they had built and capped 2 frames of honey in the 3rd box (above the queen excluder). I removed the excluder and added a 4th super. Very calm bees. did not inspect nest.

split the hive at rosiers. brought queen and open brood and honey/pollen in a new box to my house. was not a lot of open brood or eggs.

Left all capped brood (quite a bit actually) and some eggs in the existing location. i'll check on them in a week.
