Today I switched out the drone frames in hives 1&2. No problems, really. Of course, all I did was take off the supers and upper brood boxes, lever out the drone frame without moving any other frames and then slide the new frame into place. Nothing dropped, no stings, little disturbance. Wow!
I looked at about 10 drone pupae- no mites. Does this means the mites are under good control (I hope so) or just sampling error or something else? I'll do a sticky board count next week.
Two days ago, when looking in Olea's hive window, I saw the queen, with her red mark, crawling around the side of a comb; pretty exciting.
