I actually pulled 4 frames out and started a nuc. Queen went to the nuc. Going to let them make a queen. They are saskatraz bees. Very good id say.

The bees were installed april 29. I bought 2 saskatraz packages from queen right colonies. I was a little hesitant to pay more but i see now it was a good deal. They are going like gang busters. My Italian hive just aboit looks the same. Im going to add a 3rd super on them today. Maybe make another split too. Who knows. Nice and calm bees too. Very surprised. I also want to say i have not fed any of my hives. This is all on thier own. Great bees.
If the attached pictures are of the packages installed on April 29, and they are recent, that really is not all that impressive. I helped install shook swarms in Mid May that are now in double deeps with medium supers on already. No feeding either. I realize flows can vary greatly by region. I would expect a far greater build up from Carniolan based bee. Just my thoughts on the matter.The bees were installed april 29. I bought 2 saskatraz packages from queen right colonies.

I wasnt trying to impress you. Believe me. It sounds like your a master beekeeper.
