Shall I wait before putting in a test frame?
I made an A/s on 18th May and the new box with all the brood frames in swarmed at 10.00am on Wed. (I left only one cell - or so I thought)
I've looked in today but can see no queen cells and no eggs.
So, assuming there is a virgin queen in there (would they not have swarmed without?) how long before I should expect her to lay?
