Did a hive inspection today and the little darlings are really out to confuse me.
3 frames of stores and then on 4th, nice brood pattern and around the outside of the brood, eggs. Up to 6 per cell. Bugger, laying worker in queenless hive!
5th frame, classic layout, stores, pollen brood, eggs (single per cell), same with 6th and then on the 7th. The marked and very healthy queen.
Laying workers AND Laying queen?
This is a new queen that has only been laying for three weeks, I assume the laying worker(s) is from the first of her brood.
What to do now?
Any ideas guys?
