Hive built
Built the second hive, in place next to the first.
First one, I am still not seeing any pollen being brought in and totally inspected the hive and did not see brood, eggs or a queen.
According to the calendar, by two days from now, the queen should at least have been mated or started laying, and by 7/24 at the latest should be laying.
We'll see.
Chris Toomey, the AH guy with some hives, was going to get me a queen and some frames to cut, but he couldn't find the queen so out of luck unless a swarm wants to take over my second hive.
Not feeling too promising right now.
