Oh yes she is! It appears our new young queen has bred with the drones! I expected her to go out on her mating flight and it looks like she did! Her abdomen is full of eggs and she is ready to go! I'll check her in a couple of days to make sure she is laying eggs. I tried to see but I forgot my little flashlight that helps me see deep down in those cells.
This was our queen just 10 days ago, not bred yet. You can see the abdomen isn't full like the picture above. Now fingers crossed that she will begin to lay eggs and expand the hive quickly!
