Have done a few 3-frame splits into BS Honey bee 6 frames poly nucs, with the dividers installed.
In a couple of instances, despite adding a doubled side deep of eggs, with plenty of nurse bees, stores and capped brood, only the smallest of queen cells have been produced, and in each case, only 1.
All other eggs were dutifully and very neatly capped.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what might be going on? Do I have suicidal bees?
