First Inspection of the new hive

Isaac could not contain himself until he took a look into the new hive.  He went out today and did the first inspection of the hive.  It's good to find a lot of comb being built, eggs, and larvae.  It's also good to find the queen so we know everything is going well.



Here are a couple of photos of the queen that he found on the first frame he pulled out of the hive.  The queen is twice as large as the worker bees and will lay over 2 million eggs in her lifetime (2 to 3 years).

Here is small video of him showing a frame with a bunch of stuff.


He is very excited!
