Checked in on my hive #19 in the Snohomish Valley. This is a swarm I caught about a month ago and they are growing. Big gorgeous queen. Extremely chill. Gave them some 1:1 sugar water to keep them supported while they grow. 4-5 frames of babies should make for a full box of bees in the coming week or two! Will keep a close eye on it in case I need to add a box.
