Yesterday, Adam (Patty's 15 year old son) and I checked both the orginal hive and the wild swarm hive. This is Adam's first time there when I open the hives. He was nervus but handled a few frames, drew the line at handling a frame covered with bees. We checked both hives and spotted both queens. The bees are taking syrup from the new in hive feeders, in 24 hours they half emptied the 1 gal feeder in both hives. That is more syrup than they took in 3 weeks from the hive top feeder. Patty came out to watch, she ended up with a bee in her hair, and stung on her finger.
