That is incredible. I never knew that the workers will protect a second supersedure cell from a newly emerged queen.<br>I always learn something on your channel David. Thanks for your hard work! You too Patrick!

One point to make! If in fact that second frame of the deep you pulled out at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBEBUy3RqB4&t=460">7:40</a> is a queen cell, then it proves bees move eggs ! It would have had to be there when you put on the double screen.

I generally wouldn’t feed them once a flow starts. I like them to develop naturally with as little help from me as possible. With that said, I’m going to say feed these hives to grow them. They are small splits and helping them along is in order. You’ll find a lot of opinions. The ones that matter are typically from other keepers in your immediate area. They are more familiar with the local conditions and would be more trustworthy based on that. Example: Comments from outside your location tend can be less accurate as conditions in northern climates are far different than in the south. Flows and dearths timelines obviously aren’t the same across the lands. <br><br>Thanks for sharing your journey. It’s enjoyable to watch.<br>Bee blessed!
