Queen is laying well, all looking grand. But the amount of chalk brood is growing with each inspection. Now there is quite a lot of it.
I thought maybe it was due to the stress in spring, when there’s a low bee to brood ratio. Now I’m not so sure.
Is this a Queen thing?
Will she need replaced?
I assume this won’t be improving any time soon?
