Waiting on Pair of Queens

Inspected the Sasha hive today to see if they happened to be making a queen yet. Pictured here is a frame of brood that I had moved in that was mostly eggs last week. There are a number of empty queen cups, both supercedure as well as swarm, on 3 or 4 frames. The hive is full of bees and they're capping honey in the top box! I added a honey super for good measure and to give them a bit more space. I'll split from these bees once the queens arrive in a couple of weeks.
