I am not sure what has happened here. I had a very strong hive with a few queen cups. Opened it up today and there are a less bees. There are however a load more bees in the hive next to it. The original hive has eggs and space.
Could they have swarmed. The queen is clipped so they would not go far. If they did try to swarm why would they not go back to the original hive. The hive they are all in now is pretty rammed.
