This afternoon I snuck into the hive to see if the worker bees had released the queen, and they had. First I lightly smoked the entrance, then I removed the top feeder and cover and used a little smoke to keep the bees off the top of the frames. I removed the empty queen cage. I noticed that the bees have already drawn out some comb on the frames on either side of the queen cage. Later this afternoon, I also saw some bees bringing pollen back to the hive.
