Well, something interesting happened.. From my queenless hive, two queens emerged and instead of fighting to the death, they decided to split the hive.  It makes sense, the original queen went missing which would cause a queen making frenzy.  I allowed two queen cells to form and they likely were created at the same time...so why wouldn't they emerge at the same time.    Tomorrow, I going to build the components of a complete hive and transfer the recovered swarm from these smaller supers to the larger brood boxes... I hope to get this done by tomorrow evening.  I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!    Thank you for watching!
