> I usually call moving the queen with some of the bees an artificial swarm.  I call a walkaway split more of splitting the hive in half and only checking that there are eggs in each half.

Same here.

Do y'all check for queen cells after a split of do you prefer waiting and checking for eggs?

Usually I let the bees just do their thing and check back when there should be a queen laying.

I'm trying not doing QC reduction this year, so I have just been checking for eggs.  When I reduced, I would obviously check for cells.

All right! Here goes nutthin'.

A flat-chested young lady went to Dr. Warren to see about enlarging her breasts.

Dr Warren told her, "Everyday after your shower, rub your (that word here) and say, 'Scooby, doobie, doobies, I want bigger (that word here)."

She did this faithfully for several months and it worked! She grew great (that word here)!

One morning she was running late for work, got on the bus and realized she had forgotten her morning ritual.

Frightened she might lose her lovely (that word here) if she didn't do the little rhyme, she got right out there in the aisle and started quietly chanting "Scooby, doobie, doobies, I want bigger (that word here)."

A guy sitting nearby asked, "Are you a patient of Dr. Warren's by any chance?"

"Why, yes, I am. How did you know?"

He leaned closer, winked and whispered, "Hickory, dickory, dock ... "

Can one print a joke with the word *boobies* here?

Asking for a friend.

Sal

My guess is that what he typoed/(I said) set him off ... 'cause nobody wants to see that.
I can't imagine why anyone would not want to see *boobies*... well, unless they're iddee's boobies (or mine ). Then again, don't think I want to see yours either. 
... looks to me like you got away with it ...

A priest, a minister, and a rabbit walk into a bar. Rabbit says, "I think I'm a typo."
