Good news - bees aren't dead. Bad news - not sure how to keep them that way.
Quick catch up: 2 Colonies; 2 Queens - Queen Margarita (gentle, fun-loving, heavy on the propolis) and the much nastier Queen Latifa II. Queen Latifa's colony is much more aggressive and irritable. Queen Latifa II was born when I accidentally squashed Queen Latifa 1. A long story which I will spare you (unless you are desperate).
So that's it. Mouseguards on. Feeding underway.
May try a complicated maneuver this weekend involving intentional Queen squashing (you can guess who) - see if my nerve and the weather holds.
