No not the royal baby! Our new nuc colony arrived today. After a very long drive to Omlet HQ we arrived back at the hive with just enough time to let them rest before transfering the frames across.
The queen was spotted on the first frame we removed and all frames contained plenty of brood. I only had a quick look through as it was starting to get a bit late in the day, all looked very good and nice and calm despite the long journey. I placed a bag of syrup on top of a clearer board to help them along and put 3 new frames at the front of the hive.
Lots of lovely sunshine forecast for the next two weeks so they have arrived just in time. I can't wait to have a proper look at them in a few days...
