Hi
You may recall I had a swarm on 20th May.
I have fed and checked them today. However, I have found lots of drawn out foundation (totally new foundation with 1 old comb) - it is filled with a yellow / orange looking stuff that looks like it has crystalised.
However, for the life of me, I can not see any grubs or C shaped items.
I have looked really really hard, especially on the middle frames which are drawn out. Stacks of bees, but is it me or am I missing brood?
Is the orange / yellow stuff honey/pollen?
Cheers
Nick
