Right so a few weeks ago i posted a thread titled (queen problem?).
hears a link: https://beekeepingforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=46455
I looked for her last week bet couldn't see her. so i shook all the bees into the bottom brood box (using double brood box by the way) and shoved an excluder on. came back today and... eggs above the QE.
But i did find the queen and shes gone now. There was three queen cells present also. I thought ah this is going to work out OK ill just put these under the excluder and everything will be fine in a few weeks? (am i right in thinking this?) but as i was looking through the bottom BB there was eggs there to. so i'm now quite confused. was there 2 queens somehow? Or could she have been slipping through the excluder?
ANY help is appreciated!!
thanks
