Yesterday, May 10, we--Chris, Geetha, Lindsay D., Lindsay T, Stefanie, and Steve--opened the hive, eleven days after our queens were installed.  Each hive looked good, although in both, blue in particular, the bees had built extra sections of comb between frames.  One glob of extra comb fell off a frame when we were moving frames in blue. We took it out of the hive and brought it home.  On the way back Geetha noticed eggs in the cells.  So Blue Queen is laying.  Geetha took some pictures.  Maybe she'll post them.
