We Have an Heir and a Spare!

Was very pleased to find one queen cell and a second queen cup in the nuc today!

Upgraded them to a medium super and now will let them be for a few weeks while the queen hatches, takes her maiden flight and starts laying eggs.

The donor hive is looking good. We are expected to get a bit of snow tomorrow and then again later in the week but both hives have a small amount of fondant to help them get through the coming weather even though they both have abundant nectar and pollen already.
