Inside this colony here is where Splodge lives. Now, Splodge is a queen that was covered in green paint. They couldn't send her out to her customers. They tried to supersede her again and again and again, and I am going back in for the first time in 2025 to see if we can find her now. And just like that, first frame I pull out— definitely wasn't prepared. Okay, I was prepared, but look at that, Splodge still lives. Beautiful brood, healthy colony, ready for production in 2025.
