So i just went to see if the bees were busy and on the floor outside the hive was a large bee. On closer inspection this seems to be the queen which is definitely dead.
Their was also quite a bit of activity outside the hive and i must have breathed on them or something as all of a sudden their was hell up. I got stun on both of my arms and the back of the neck.
DOH!
I went home to get my suite etc and when i checked through quickly sure enough their are 5 queen cups and 4 of them sealed so they are around 9 days old. But the chance of a new queen getting mated now i am guessing is pretty much NIL!
I am gutted.
