    Laying worker issue

    Not everywhere, the were 'together though' not in random places here and there. All in one section on one frame only of 3. Similar yes, just eggs not developed. They seemed to be being ignored by the workers? Hmmm , thanks I'll give it some time then. Jon

    Laying worker issue

    Hello, I hope you can offer some advice please. I've got two hives, one which is doing very well building up from the winter. Another not so good. The later hive has a queen present, some sealed working brood but also noticed were multiple eggs in cells, some eggs over collected pollen. There...

    Apiguard

    Hi, Ones I have used last year were removed and then binned. In the opened pack, I have some unused strips which I was planning on using this year - I did not know if by opening them I should have discarded them anyway, even if not used in an hive. Thanks,

    Apiguard

    Hi all, 2nd year of bee keeping - I used Apiguard last year, all be it a little late. Am I okay to treat my bees with the same items this year, I assume it does not 'expire'? Thanks,

    My bees swarmed but I'm not sure why

    Thanks guys. My gut feeling was they left as there was not enough room - they were hanging out the front at night due to the amount of bees in there (I might have added a few more frames of brood than I should have). Had a look again today, they seem rattled and no queen in there that I could...

    My bees swarmed but I'm not sure why

    Hello :) My artificial split bees, which had reared their own queen decided to swam today and I'm not exactly sure why. I'd completed an artificial queenless split about a 1.5 months ago and the colony was in a 6 frame NUC. They reared their own queen, and though I'd seen no eggs seemed happy...

    Queenless split advice

    Good news - found her this evening and marked her (after a right mess about with the plastic foam type plunger contraption for getting hold of the queen).

    Artificial swarms but only have spare nucs...

    So, I'm quite new at this also (2 years) but I'll try and help as it can be quite 'full on' making these decisions. The situation you describe does not quite make sense. Were the cells you found opened, hence the 2 queens you found in the hive? It should work, the queenless original hives...
