    I reached out, one friend split his hive and is waiting a few more days to open his box up.

    But yes I am worried they are going to bounce.

    Glenn how did everyone miss the Freddie joke.

    I deal with some yankee migratory bee keepers that don't even wear gloves when opening hives. They're actually pretty normal compared to the hobbyist beekeeper crowd.

    I got it. I wanted to work one in, but couldn't find the right "in".. funny things are typed most days, if it's there.. a few will get it. Just know, it probably won't be recognized or called out, but it's still appreciated

    They likely won't bounce, but if you end up with a laying worker, you're gonna be in a bad way.

    If there was a contest for coolest, George would be the dark horse candidate.

    I drove up to Horse Creek Honey farms in Bowmin a few weeks ago and got a queen for my queen less swarm. Also the club I'm in near Summerville split two hives last Saturday so they should have queen cells shortly. My hives don't have any yet, I looked.
