When you have a queen cell and you want to hatch out a queen -it's a good idea to leave the bees alone, ok once mated and laying, then I can resume as normal - yipee, Inspector said 3-4 weeks, but as the weather has been so poor, I am not sure that she will have come out and mated.... could have to wait longer.
I would love a "hive cam" I spend ages watching mine just come and go.
Do you like the smell of your hive? - inside I mean.....I think I need help as I love the smell inside my hive!
It's a mix of warm cedar wood and honey/wax, and something that smells kinda different- cant put my finger or nose on it, but it keeps me sniffing!
