It was about 65º, clear skies and no wind at the bee yard.
Today the queens were deployed.
The swarm hive was checked through one more time for a queen and none was found. So a queen was setup in the middle of the hive. The feeder jar was full, buttoned up the hive. On Wednesday of next week I'll check to see if the queen was successfully released.
Alpha Hive
Used a few frames from the hive to make a split. The remaining new queen was installed in the split and that one will also need to be checked on Wednesday of next week.
Beta Hive
Checked the honey super and some of the bees are milling around in it but none are storing nectar. I do not want to disturb the hive until next weekend.
