The old hive has just brought out a dead queen. The worker bees are still giving her a lot of attention as she lays on the flight deck. While I looked at her I could hear another queen inside the hive (apparently) piping triumphantly. I thought for a moment that maybe that was it - the end of swarm season for us, but no I've just listened to the hive and there is still more than one queen inside!
I didn't post anything at the time but the new hive or split also cast out a queen sometime this morning, which surprised me since that hive has been quiet for a while and I'd assumed that there was only one victorious queen inside.
