At the beekeeping lesson yesterday I described the state of my hive. (No larvae, sealed brood and empty cells, no queen cells on the bottom of the frames but 2 sealed supercedure cells) General consensus is that they swarmed about 6 to 8 days ago.
Advised to leave supercedure cells and not buy in Queen.
What should I have done differently, been inspecting every 5 days looking for queen cells prior to AS.
Sigh.
