Top: It seems that my new unnamed hive swarm is already having queen problems. They have two queen cells with larvae in them so I'm not worried though. It's actually quite a relief. They are building straight on the combs and have lots of brood already. Middle and bottom: Llorynth has two visible queen cells that are already capped so I think that Strong II has left or died. I'm not sure how but that's just the way it is. I'm also not worried about them because they have so much brood already and have those queen cells. They are also starting to build out the new frames that I checkerboarded in there with them. I'm very glad because my previous experiences with gaps have involved whole frames of burr comb. They are also not storing honey which is a very bad sign. I'm probably going to put a feeder on them soon because with no honey stored for the winter they will surely starve.
