I’ve given some thought to the new queens on their way, and decided that its time for them to have new names.I’ve decided on Alice for the new queen in Wood, and Heather for the queen in the new hive. Of course, I should really say the next queen in, since there’s a chance these ones won’t survive to mate properly, but fingers crossed!

I decided its better to name on queen, than hive box, since things could become confusing if a box is named, but its occupants change with swarm control and bee movements.
