Went and did a hive inspection at Le-Pige hive with my Bee Buddy, located queen on frame 10,
We noticed that all though a prolific layer the queen is a messy layer, no pattern just were ever she feels like laying eggs.
Lot of pollen coming in especially black pollen showing which I think is from Oriental poppy (Papaver}, and Red Horse Chestnut.
I saw for the first time bees emerging from their cells, watched them chip away at the capping and helped by older bees, saw 5 in total emerge brilliant.
Did have to give them a 1ltr sugar syrup feed as so many broods to feed there was not much stores.
But from my Bee Buddy he said hive doing really well.
