9th jun - National single BB, 11 frms brood (just sealed brood), 2 sealed Qcells. Action - both squashed.
21st jun - test frm added. Result - no Q cells drawn.
1st july - no eggs in colony, rest frame added. Result - no Q cells drawn.
12th july - 3 forms brood, BIAS.
Three cheers.
22nd july - 6 frames with brood, 4 sealed Q cells and 1 uncapped Qcell. All Q cells were on different forms and towards the frame edges.
Action - dithering on swarm prep or supercedure?
24th july - uncapped Qcell larva still present, bigger but not capped. Action - decided to gamble on supercedure.
The Qcell will probably be sealed tomorrow (25th) or the day after.
Should I leave the cell or inspect this evening and remove it?
