several updates

queen in small nuc box was killed - nuc was robbed out.

moved 2 hives to moms - the split from rosiers - the split from pattersons

queen in queen box south is hatched and walking around - no sign of eggs yet

pulled honey from haycock cutout
pulled box of brood from haycock cutout - put it on tree cutout

moved both haycock cutout and tree cutout to tavaputs ranch - flowers everywhere!  - put them in a "bear proof" dog kennel - added 4 empties to haycock cutout (8 total boxes) - added 3 empties to tree cutout (5 total boxes)

jared tells me the bees in the hobble creek bee tree are still very active. maybe it was too early in the morning when I checked before.
