They Hatched!!!!

Some of you know that my egg were taking a bit long to hatch. Today is day 62. I went to check on them and I saw a little head poking out of the egg. It was a beautiful little bumble bee. I am so freaking thrilled. I only had 3 eggs so to get one bee so far is great. I'll post pics as soon as they come out.

Question: I drilled a few holes (very small) in the lid so that they can have more air. Was this ok to do? If not I can switch lids with ones not in use.

Awesome! where are the picks?

The air hole is fine at this point. They will not be in there long enough for your hatching medium to dry out.

Very cool.. I would be soooo stoked as well. Hope it is the sex you want and then all will be good huh.. Sweet :gj:

Pics man pics, :taz:

And conratulations.

holes in the lid is fine. and congrats on the hatchlings. once one pips, the rest will very soon. don't try to feed them until a few days after their first shed. and yes we need some pics. don :banana:

Congrats! I can't wait to see pics!! :)

Congrats! Nice to know you got the visual you were after with the first egg! Can't wait to see a few pics!

I just got home after being out most of the evening. Looks like the 2nd one pipped. I saw his head. Its a .........Normal. Oh well. Still my little baby. One more to go. I'll take some pics when they aren't so shy. Thanks all. Have a good night.

Congrats :gj:

As promised here are the pics

Here are both of them poking out. The Bee is very shy. The normal is very brave. It hardly retreats to its egg when I open the incubator.

When they come out fully I'll get more. There is still one egg that hasn't pipped. Do you guys think I should cut tonight if it doesn't come out?
