On Saturday we dropped off a box to a beekeeper in Johnsonville who put some frames of bees in it, including a laying queen (still to be named). Next morning we collected it and put it in our bee coop. Sunday was wet and they stayed in, complaining about the weather over here in Newtown, but now it's sunny and here they come creeping out of their hive, flying around in front of it to take a good look at it and then pottering off to check the new neighbourhood out.
P.S.
The other hive's new queen's name is Becky. She's named after Genghis Khan's peace-making and successful daughter https://www.rejectedprincesses.com/princesses/alakhai-beki while also thinking of Becky who is one of the calmest and clearest communicating players that I've coached.
