Left One Queen Cell

[gwt_uk]

Hello all,

Today, for the first time in my beekeeping journey I removed a queen from a hive (after finding charged queen cells) and made up a Nuc with 3 frames of brood some stores and a couple shakes of bees. I left one QC in the hive and was planning on returning this weekend to see if more queen cells had been made. Correct course of action? There were still lots of eggs so am assuming they will try and make QCs.

Don't forget to look on the face of the frame, not just around the edges where you've probably seen swarm cells

Shake every frame but the one with your chosen cell.
