I made my quick call to Mike from Beesandbeans to see if I had made the right decisions, seems almost got it right, but I had left too many queen cells in the old hive.
So tonight ably assisted by Russ we got rid of all but two queen cells, the first queen to hatch usually will kill the other one, failing that they wll fight it out, winner takes the colony.
The photo shows couple of queen cells and Russ getting himself mentally prepared :-).
Russ's verdict - "It's good, weird that they are all just flying around us"
PS That's Joe hard at work in the background cooking dinner, he choose that over helping with the bees!
