Well, sadly, today, between frequent swarm checks, our girls left us for a new home. We think they waited for a moment when we were not looking, to make their departure less difficult for us. God speed girls. Good luck this winter and we wish you the best.
Now, we need to concentrate on the colony left behind. They have a new queen probably stronger than the one that left us. We need to provide them/her with enough food so that she will lay as many eggs as possible to build up the colony.
Although the swarm didn't end the way we had hoped, I have to remember that there is a higher order and maybe, for whatever reason, this was for the best. Sometimes you just can't question Mother Nature. She can be very humbling and works in ways we don't always understand. And I always try to remember that it is a privilege to live on her planet. Occasionally though she has to remind us who is in charge!
