Guido Noerens had arranged our order for carnica queens from Roger de Crook in dendermonde. 1730 Ilya and i go to his house in Apelterre, behind congoberg over the Dender. Part of the overlarf project from the Flemish beekeepers. The American foulbrood outbreak in Geraardsbergen has meant that we have to go further away.
We come away with 10 larvae draped in a wet towel, despite a street party closing the road and Ilya wanting to see Guido's bee suit. It's a hot day 25°+ & sunny and the car soon warms up even for the few minutes we were inside.
Back home i remove the yellow queen to a mini plus, along with some of her bees, unfortunately i've only got foundation, but a feeder full of syrup should help them on their way.
I put 7 on the top bar and 3 on the next bar and also put the feeder on them too.
