On inspection last Friday I found 6 queen cups spread throughout BB; I have brood on 9 frames, 1 full super almost completely capped and the 2nd super is half full but uncapped when I last looked. Inspection is due this weekend to prevent queen cells being drawn but the weather forecast for Kent is max temp of 11 degrees. I got my bees as a package in July last year so this is my first year of coping with possible swarming. My question is should I inspect at the weekend or not. I am keen to make another colony from my hive this year so want to catch them before they swarm. What would you do? Thanks for all answers.
