Weather: 25C cloudy and windy, threatening rain.
Only one day after installing the bees, I was back in the hive to remove the queen cage which I had left on the bottom of the hive to let the queen out. The bees had already built a bunch of burr comb on the tops of the bars which stuck them to the hive lid, but it separated after a bit, and I got in and out without any problems. The bees are still calm. I was kind of nervous so I forgot to spray them with my water sprayer, but they didn't appear bothered by me at all.
