And another Swarm Attempt

Didn't get to look at Emerald the other day properly, especially after Sapphire was showing signs of Swarming/Superseding. Guess what Emerald was up to??? Yup the same. Was going to take eggs off for another Packwood Apiary when I came across 3/4 queen cells one capped but small and 3 larger ones charged.

Emerald is now in a National NUC and I have eggs and brood in her old hive and one at Packwood.

So now I have Emerald in a nuc, Sapphire, Diamond, Zircon with Pearl being made in the Poly Hive (Sapphire's) and Opal (lost the one to theft at Packwood) being made in Emerald Flow hive - so 4 Queen right and 2 with Queen Cells then out at Packwood - Crystal is now Queen Right and Moonstone (also gone from Packwood) is being replaced by a QC also from Emerald today.

Watch this space - I may have to do some combining but presently if the want to multiply who am I to stop them
