New Bee
Hi,
I inspected one of my hives this morning and was pleased to see that the nuc I installed 2 weeks ago has already drawn out 4 frames of foundation. I’m slightly nervous that the brood pattern contains a lot of drone cells though and wondered if anyone has any comment on the attached photos? Does it look like a drone laying queen?
It was an overwintered nuc with a 2019 queen.
Thanks in advance!
