Why is it, just when you think you're in control of them, cause they are doing just what you want them to do, they have a way of letting you know that your control over them is an illusion? I bumped a nuc up to a 10 frame hive got as many bees as I could out of the old nuc then put it on it's side in front of the new hive. I just went to grab my nuc to use for another project and there was like 20 to 25 bees in there. No big deal, right? Cept, why is there a queen sitting there kicking it with them??? Opened the 10 frame hive...2 capped queen cells....guess either the old queen was not on the frames when I moved them or she didnt let go when the nuc dumped and skaken. Well, looks like we'll just be 1 more closer to 50 hives.
