Had a phone call to say some bees available so before following up I had another look into both q- hives. Very pleased to see no. 2 (the July split) has early stage larvae! Couldn't see eggs at last check but obviously there must have been some. No. 1 still no sign of any development so I will go and look at the bees on offer.
Bringing in new genetic material can only be a positive development I think, as long as they are healthy, hard working and good natured.
