As you know, I somehow managed to go queenless in two hives in the rear apiary. After talking to several folks around here, several somehow went queenless this spring. Not sure what caused it, but either way, I had to order some new queens.
I ordered two queens from Kelley Beekeeping. They arrived a few days later, and to my dismay, one queen was dead… very dead. The other looked great. I promptly called Kelley and was quite pleased with their prompt attention to the matter. My new queen is already on the way. Here, I show you how to install a queen into a queenless hive.
