Corona property mother colony (028-029) was opened and inspected. The queen was found and caged. The colony is doing extremely well but no swarm cells were seen. A 2 frame split was performed and put in 5 frame NUC, (030).
A single frame of all capped brood was moved without bees into the smaller adjoining hive (025). This colony has a viable queen but the numbers are still lagging behind. This frame of brood should increase the numbers substantially.
