Hi All, I performed an AS at the end of July, nearly six weeks ago. At the time I also lost the Queen in the Original hive. A week ago I found larvey in the Original hive but the Swarm colony has not produced any yet. The Queen hatched three weeks ago now. The bees are covering about 7 frames at the moment, down from 10. I was wondering how long I should give them before giving up on the Queen? Also if the Queen doesn't lay soon is there any point in re-uniting them with the other hive given they are all old bees now anyway?
