Morning Guys,
Had an opportunity to have a look in both hives yesterday, as it got to a rather pleasant 13 degrees after lunch.
First hive, is progressing well, brood and eggs over 5 frames. Lots of stores
Second Hive, no sign of eggs or queen, bees over 4 frames.
Should I leave this hive alone and see whether, she is there and starting late, buy in a new queen, or simply unite the hive with hive 1, so I can split again in a few weeks.
Many thanks and have a good day
