I have not been able to look in my hive for a couple of weeks because of the weather. Global warming & horizontal drought have been getting in the way while the sun came out while I was at work.
Good job I looked tonight, there is in excess of 10 supercedure cells. 3 of which are sealed.
Old Queen is still in there (For now) & I have just spent the evening making up frames for the new hive I made over the winter.
I want to A/S, but can't get out of work early tomorrow.
Can I perform the A/S at about 6pm (As long as the rain holds off and my marked queen stays where she is.) or do I have to wait until I have bees flying so they can bleed themselves out of the old hive & into the new one?
