being hanging out with this girl, she took me out to her hive a couple days ago. We opened it up and took out all the racks to check for queen brood pods or whatever they are called, she was worried they might be preparing to abscond. I tell you, no gear on and bees getting louder and louder as you take their house apart, you better be on your most zen shit, it was a lot of fun and I was given a jar of honey for my troubles. And yes, I saw the queen!
Wherever you are shark, hope your bees are doing good.
