got a small two seam swarm on monday eve
been away until now having left it in a poly nuc with qe at front....probably not right thing to do but didnt want it to abscond
theyve drawn 2 frames of foundation and filliing with stores...saw the unmarked q and no eggs
presuming shes a virgin
i want to move this colony to a new apiary around 3 miles away
should i leave in garden until mated/eggs....and therefore open qe or move and then do this?
thanks for all the advice i keep getting on here, really appreciated by us new to this
