Hi
A week ago I checked a nuc I had overwinter and things were looking good. It was only a brief check as the forecast was to turn cold again. Found BIAS, didn't see the queen but not worried.
Today moved nuc to a brood box and again checked for queen but didn't find. A little more worried as although had a few grubs, still plenty of capped brood, but did not see any eggs. Could it be that the cold weather we had last week has reduced/stooped the queen laying? I'm worried now that I have done something stupid on last inspection.
Thanks for comments.
