Today We inspected many hives, looking for the queen bee. Once we found the queen bee would put her in the bottom box of the Langstrath and put a queen extractor next on top of it, and then the rest of the boxes. We also grafted tiny larvae into plastic queen cups that hung two rows in a frame. I also learned how to identify drone bees and pick them up first holding down on their thorax and picking them up with my thumb. Drone bees don’t have a stinger. If you squeeze their abdomen, their phallus will invert out. This is used for artificial insemination.

Cleaned off a lot of frames today. PF120’s (plastic frame 120) and permacombs.
