Hippolyta's daughter has babies!

Those little white dots in the cells at the top of the photo are approx 3-day old eggs, which means that three days ago someone in the Flow Hive laid them. Most likely, since there is only one in each cell and they seem to be down the bottom, a queen bee. 

Hooray! 

We didn't keep going because we thought that leaving her in peace at this stage was more likely to be a successful beekeeping strategy than looking for her would be. 

Meanwhile, Malka and her family are keenly making honey while the nectar flows.
