Connie swarmed. I put off putting on the second deep, too long. She felt crowded and it was in the 90s these last two days. She was hot and decided it was splitsville time.
I now have a new queen. The hive was very gentle and quiet after the swarm. (she was bitchy before the swarm). I took the top medium super off and put in the second deep. I spun the honey from the super and a super I had placed on the side when I rebuilt the other hives. I now have three gallons of honey. I am running it through the filters now and soon I will have 60 or so bears full of spring honey.
