Here is a picture of my queen with whom I place my hope in this little hive. I pray that God wills this hive to thrive and prosper. Her attendants are all around her. I have lightley sprayed the cage with sugar water in case they are thirsty from their travels all the way from California. I will call her Queen Makeda.
You can see one end is white, this is the candy that the bees need to eat through to leave the cage and into the hive. The ideal is that by the time they have eat through the candy, the queen's pheromones have permeated the hive and the colony will accept her.
