Beginner's luck, I guess... these were snapped during my 2 week inspection of my first hive (from package bees). Colony grew faster than my experience level was prepared for and they swarmed in mid July... waiting for the new queen mum to start laying.

I know it's disappointing about the swarming but don't sweat it; hopefully you'll just have a little bit younger queen for next spring. By then you'll have more experience,good luck!....:thumbsup:
