- sadly, no more!
I did an AS eleven days ago. Have not checked the hive since, because I was concerned about what the bees would do to a virgin queen if I disturbed them.
But today (with the best weather we have had so far this year), the bees have been in and out in very large number, and with no shortage of pollen. Could this mean the the new Queen has mated and is laying. Or might they just be good housekeepers and laying in stores against the day?
