On inspecting my hive today, I was pleased to see the first signs that brood has been emerging from my recently swarmed (and therefore requeened) hive.
But I did notice on 2 frames that in a perfect line following the foundation wire, the cells were empty, and had new eggs in them.
I wondered if this was because the metal of the wire got warmer, so increased the speed of the emergence of the workers? Or some other reason?
Just interested really, as it looked so odd! I took a picture, but have gone and left my camera at my parents house, so won't be able to upload a picture immediately...will do when I get it back though!
Any ideas?
