Things were hectic before 9 this morning as I looked out and the sky was amass with flying bees again. So many in fact that I thought my troubled hive was absconding. Further investigation showed me it was actually 2 hives casting (a cast is a subsequent swarm coming 8 or so days after the original swarm) off at the same time. So I prepped everything, sprayed them with sugar water and put both of them in the same hive (now my white hive)
and sealed it up, They can either duke it out or learn to get along. Later They settled in just fine but I'm not sure yet if I have a queen. My 1st swarm is full of brood, yeah. Later
