Hi All,
Advice please, I re queened hive with bought queen 7-7-21, not the strongest of colonies, appeared all good, she was laying intermittently, but not the best laying pattern, however inspected today, no queen and x2 new queen cells. I’ve recently moved two weaker hives that were being slaughtered by wasps and they appear to be recovering, I’m not sure whether to let nature take its cause and let the ladies do their own thing or destroy queen cells and merge with one of the weaker hives I moved, hopefully making relatively strong colony going into winter.
