The bees will have to start from scratch and build their combs without foundation. The only help we've given them is a strip of beeswax on the top bars suggesting, "This is a good place to start."
It's been a couple of weeks since I saw the swarm by the Barnes & Noble – I was afraid to catch it without protective gear – and we're beginning to worry that the hive will remain empty this year.
