Top Bar Hive Inspection0
Doing an inspection on one of my top bar hives. This is the first top bar hive I built. The queen in this hive is most likely not the original queen from the package that was installed on April 1, 2010. Earlier in the season the hive produced several supercedure queen cells. The original queen was not marked. This is also the first time I have found the queen since the package was installed April 1, 2010.
