We went out to check on the hives and see if the Queen had escaped her cage. The bees seem "at home." 
Jack decided to don one of the bee jackets and help check on the Queen. 
I used the smoker for the first time. I collected pine needles and sticks, starting the fire with a small piece of newspaper in the bottom. The bees seemed totally calm, so it didn't seem necessary. 
We pulled the Queen cage and it is empty! Yeah! She is ready to go to work.
