Inspected a nuc my out apiary today. This is a AS nuc containing the original queen. Until recently I have been bleeding off frames of sealed brood into the original hive, but the new queen is now laying well so now they have built up and are ready to be re-hived. Strong nuc, brood on 5 frames, green marked queen present and seen. Then I spotted this:
It looks like an emerged QC. There were no other QCs in any stage. I didn't spot another queen in the colony.
Is this an emerged cell? Or have the bees torn it down?
