well I won't xD looked really quickly, she clearly has some eggs there already, I don't know how but looks like she has been laying a lot of them, the setup was really clean and she seemed ok.

I closed it quickly so I wouldn't disturb her, just a few seconds of light, I'll check herr again in one or 2 weeks :)

Good luck biting your nails and resisting the urges! For me they are almost unbearable...

I gave my queens two drops of sugar syrup when i first caught them and I watched them drink it right up, I had a little peek yesterday and the first queen was carrying more eggs around in her mandibles, second queen is still not laying though. I decided to name the first queen "Queen Agatha" and I think I might just end up selling the second queen once she has some brood.
