picked up a nuc form Chris H. and installed them to hive two. Queen is marked red. five deep frames; the outers were hardly drawn out -- smaller than our other nuc. put into a new 8-frame deep super on a new bottom board next to hive one.
Did a quick check of hive one; Lisa spotted a queen running around! a few of the queen cells are opened and there are about 5 more that are still capped. So we have a hatched queen just about when predicted; she should be mated and laying (and killed the other hatching queens) by the end of May.
