Hive report:
I didn't go out for to long since I had a trapout to check. The split did not have any activity at all. I listened to the bees and there was some buzzing inside. I did not open them up.My hive (I call it the Simplex Nuc - even though there are no longer any simplex frames in there) showed normal activity.
Trapout number 2:
I opened up the nucleus box and pulled out the frame with eggs I put in two days ago. There's one queen cup on there! So at least they're trying to make a queen.I did not check any other frames.
I did notice the bees coming back to the tree weren't looking for an enterance at all, so I figured they must've found a new way in. It wasn't the cone. I added some more tape once I located the little gap in between the tape and the tree and sealed off everything again.
The home owner was trying to help out and a bee got stuck in his hair. Off course he got stung. Not to badly I hope...
