Queen, Hive #1
Really nice picture of the queen with some workers & a couple of drones on some new comb. She is an Italian & from my first batch of bees. She is also an emergancy queen due to loosing my queen last year. Had a bad Varroa mite problem with this hive. went from a 3 story hive to a singe deep brood box. They almost didn't make it through the winter & I owe the reason for them still being here to her. enjoy! =)
