I picked up the second colony of honeybees yesterday and installed them into the other hive box. The installation process went much more smoothly this time around, although I still made a bone-head mistake, which I can't even mention yet, still too embarrassed. But the bees are in and I will go into the box tomorrow to remove the queen's cage and take out the box that the bees came in originally.
I was able to take my first peek into colony #1's box, and they are making comb like crazy. I need to read up on comb location, because they are making comb on the box cover, on the underside, and I'm not sure if that is going to be a problem down the line. Picture of the comb to come.
