Checked the new batch of bees yesterday. It's been cold and wet ever since I put them in on Tuesday afternoon. I'd seen ZERO activitity at the hive and was getting a bit concerned. Opened it up and found that they are doing well. Queen has been released and I found her on the first frame I lifted, how lucky is that! Did'nt have to take the whole thing appart to find her.

Yesterday I went to get chicks but came home empty handed. Got everything else though. Today I went to another place and got my chicks. 2 Buff Orpington's and 2 Black Australorp's. They are soooo darn cute! They're all snuggled up in a corner of the box under the lamp. Napping from their big adventure.
