We've been butchering chickens and turkeys the last 2 days, as soon as I can remember I'll take some pictures of the Long Langstroth hive my husband has almost finished for me.

Thanks!!She's already a great looking queen!
Thanks!!
I owe credit to my wife. It was a very small Sept swarm. First one that I’ve ever hived, had them fan at the entrance, then decide to leave two hours later. We hived them again and she combed through the bees until she found the virgin queen. Stuffed her in a cage threw feed on them, Put them in their spot at dusk. Next day they were drawing out comb so I released her.
I was worried about her mating. Drones haven’t been kicked out yet, but they are getting close. So far, they are doing OK. I don’t think they have the numbers to make it over winter, but I’ll have resources for the next swarm at a minimum.
Mine are always in an early drone extermination mood.
