Mated Queen wanted

[jimmybee]

Hi, I'v had to remove a colony from a School a few days ago as the kids are starting back, they found it in a class room last week. sadly as it has been there all summer its very strong. But after removal they have started making queen cells so i must of lost or killed the Queen in the move. I would like to save them if poss.

Any help would be great!!

That's quite a reaction! Have you checked thoroughly for the queen? Queen cells don't necessarily mean that you have no queen!

James,

Where are you? It would be helpful as it would be better to have a local-ish queen if you can. I can always post one 'though if you are desperate. Mine are £20 and are reared myself from my Buckfast background, but mongrel and open mated bees.

Let me know.

Meg
