We bought some new equipment today from KT's Orchard and Apiary (https://www.facebook.com/KTs-Orchard-and-Apiary-643133899090474/). A new bee suite for Kristy, since she has built up the courage to start helping me in the bee yard, and a new inner cover for the almost destroyed hive from a few days ago. We also picked up some "For Health w/ Essential Oils" to add to our bee feeder to help with building up the hive after their stressful tumble down the bank. Mixed up some fresh 1:1 Sugar/Water mixture, added the recommended "Stress" dosage of "For Health" and placed it on the hive.
Went through the entire hive, inspected each frame but couldn't locate the Queen. Found lots of Larvae and some capped brood as well as some that were being capped, no way to tell really at this point if the queen survived the fall, will give it a week or so and check in on them again.
