I couldn't find a FT. Meade sub but I know a lot of Lakelanders are up for a fight to remove the Commissioners in our city if they don't put a permanent stop to the construction of the proposed data center. I wanted to share this here for anyone that may have friends/family in Ft. Meade that are willing to sign this and stand up to government corruption and over reach.

If the residents of Ft. Meade can pull this off then it might open the eyes of the Lakeland Commissioners and make them see that their employers -the citizens- do not approve of hyperscale data centers! This fight has not been eon simply because of 1 year moratorium on further applicants and the current application is still active!

Please share and spread the word! Let's support our fellow Polk County residents in their fight.

We have had our nice since 4/18 and so far so good in regards to healthy brood, queen spotting each week, wax drawn on each board, etc. This week is the first we haven't seen the queen but first we have seen these cells and being first time keepers aren't certain what they are - uncapped drone cells or supersedure cells. We did add a second box 2 weeks ago as they had filled almost all of the frames with brood/honey and they have waxed a lot of the new frames and have started honey stores in them. We are leaving both boxes for them and will add a 3rd to pull honey from towards fall.

We did not see our queen today which we know can happen, but we did see a cup towards the bottom of one frame with 1 larvae in it - not pictured here and it was only 1 cup.

We will check next weekend and hope to see our queen. If not than we will leave the single cup alone and let a new queen rise.

Any insight into what these are that are pictured would be greatly appreciated! Any insight on the situation at all would be wonderful.

Edit: to add a huge thank you to Stealth_Turtle for spotting our queen in the darn photo. Lol. My tunnel vision goes hard when activated!
