Caught that swarm !
My observation hive decided to swarm. I climbed out into my roof and put this one into a NUC box. 5 days later, they were building out the comb and the queen was laying !

Observation Hive - Update. Brood is hatching !
Last night I noticed some new born bees ! The frames that I pulled from my parents hive are Italians. Some of the new bees are Carniolan, so I assume that the new queen mated with the drones from my back yard. The bottom frame is covered in capped brood. I see larva and eggs. Today Quinn and I saw a lot more hatched bees. There is a mix of Italian and Carnie. Things are looking good for the observation hive.

Italian bees? Are there French, Greek, and Armenian bees as well? What makes a bee Italian?
