🔵 Installing Mated Queens, Making Splits and Rookie Mistakes
This past week, I had several mated Queens that had been banked, that is they were removed from their hive, put into Queen cages with attendants and "stored" until I could make some splits to install them from. During this process, I discovered I had forgotten about a NUC that had been set up back in April. Upon inspection, I discovered I had also made some mistakes that I would have found if I had not forgotten about this NUC.
I misspoke in the ending clip. There was one capped Queen cell I removed along with the two uncapped cells.
