Got a cold, so had a quick look. Don’t know what happened to the 2 queen I had? Left Hive Had a Quick look. Brood looked OK and saw eggs. Right Hive Had about 15 Queen Cells. Could not remember witch one I left, so pick the best one and removed the rest.

There was a very small amount of eggs and not many bees in the left hive. So I swapped the hives around. Never done this before. Did find an opened queen cell on a frame in the right hive and put this in also. Just in case the eggs a worker eggs.

Had a good look in the brood box I put on top and the 2 supers. But could not find any Queens. So my guess is 1 Queen killed the other. :confused: Put a new brood box to the left of my hive. I only made 3 brood frames with foundation. I need to change another 3 frame and move the 2 super over...
