Hey y'all!
The bees made it, 6/6. Two needed supered today (any red maple that didn't pop last week definitely popped yesterday), I supered two more just for convenience of not needing to do it next week, one is a little behind but definitely busting it. One is a dink. Hand-sized brood nest on two frames, and patchy. Tho Q has got all the gaps filled with eggs at least. Maybe three good frames of bees.
So right now the plan is to nurse them along until I get some drones then raise a new Q and see what she can do.
But I'm open to suggestions if there are better ideas ... maybe pull the Q and combine with the small but happy hive?
