Hi, thanks for responding, it's late now though, so it seems sensible to look through the replies more thoroughly tomorrow to glean the wisdom there enparceled like golden honey under snow white capping.
Wish there was a like button, I get replies mixed up w/o one. I am the only one keeping records, well spotted. I bought an app, but we have paper ones handy...So, it's clear we're newbies, how's this for a blunder.... I have taken out the queen excluder today in hopes that she was trapped. This...
Hi, that's a bit beyond me, all's I know is I saw 9 charged/capped queen cells and flipped out. Had to leave to pick up my 3yo from nursery, so did not observe all of swarm control. They culled most of the QC, I think down to one. The saw lots of the teeniest grubs I have ever seen, can't that...
erm cld be... I am the one taking the lead on this, our other beeks hanging back so as not to get jumped for being stupid (hmmm, wonder why?) So I don't really have any one to bounce stuff off of... It' s all quite competitive around here, quite prematurely, IMHO. Cld be that the brood were from...

Woah hold up, just the facts sir. She was laying normally, now she ain't. Somebody was laying in that box and it weren't me. Someone is ✴still✴ laying in there, and it still ain't me. So I take it you can't guide me any on pollen block...
❇Hi Derek, Hi Ben ❇
One of the beekeepers from my course last summer keeps some hives in Knowsley Village and our eldest went to primary there when we first relocated in the UK from the US
pollen block?
Yes not a lot of time, but I was able to remove a full frame of capped brood to help out the original hive in the time since the split. I keep hearing abt pollen block, does any body know abt it?
She's obv still laying b/c there is capped brood, both drone and worker. I will...
We did an artificial swarm 4 wks ago, have not marked the queen yet but brood at all stages/types seen, prolific until this week. Laying pattern scattered and v sparse no grubs/eggs seen, capped drone and worker brood sighted. Seemed to have space to lay in, but there is pollen on every frame...
