I know this little one is new, see how fuzzy she is, but she was guarding the hive, which surprised me. Usually this job is done by a older bee.
When you open up a box this is what you like to see. Bees and more bees.
This is a close up of the drone laying queen hive after we brushed the bees off and they found their way back home. See they actually knew where to go.
This is another shot of the queen laying hive, we took this about 10 minutes after we had brushed all the bees off.
See how pretty this fram looks. All the capped brood in the center. That means more bees on the way soon. This queen is a keeper.
