Top Bar Beekeeping in Arlington Heights

Snowed Saturday, really! Sunday was low 50s, bees were out, getting pollen.  Did not go in to see if queen was released.  Now going to rain all week, so still not sure when I'll be able to check and get that cage removed.

A lot easier than I expected.  Hung the queen on an empty next to brood comb, added the feeder and all looks good. They were taking orientation flights within an hour. Craig Mitchell got me the package.  Bees flying everywhere in his van, and then in my car!
