Purchased Queen Introduced - Nuc / 4th Hive (April 8)

I placed the new queen (she is in her queen cage) in the Nuc this morning.  It will take 1-3 days for the worker bees to eat the soft candy away from the entrance and release her.  In the meantime her pheromones will become familiar to the hive so the bees will not kill her thinking she is a foreign bee.  This will eventually become our 4th hive.
