Hi,
I'd carried out swarm control on 2 of my hives by removing the queen to a nuc box, then making sure there was only 1 queen cell remaining in the original hive. It looks like neither of the new queens in the original hives have mated successfully - potentially due to the poor weather up here in central Scotland? My question is this, is it too late to try and re-queen these two hives by taking a frame of eggs from another hive?
Any advice much appreciated.
