I have bought a new queen for my colony whose queen is drone laying only. The new queen arrives tomorrow so i went in today to remove the old queen who, is normally very easy to find. after three searches i could not find her. The bees are very noisy, and only on one frame are there any brood, and these are all drone. i counted a dozen capped cells. I noticed that they are building a few play cups. although not sure if that is correct. small round cups...
Anyway i digress.
Is it still ok to introduce a new queen as i cannot find the old one.
she arrives tomorrow
Thanks for your help
did you try a test frame? sounds more like a q- colony...
