Mated swarm queen

No, I think he stopped bullying at school

Perhaps some people should spend less time looking for the negatives in Rabs posts and more time reading the solid advice he offers?

I cant find rab's advice in this thread, where is it?
i can only find these:

no eggs yet (7 days later) I am aware where the swarm came from hence knowing it is a mated queen.
I wish I had your confidence of this statement, but you need to convince me. At this present time I would tend to be affirmative of the first part of your question.

Apologies for the late reply all is well and the queen is in lay although she took a while to get going.
Just how long precisely? As I thought, I expect - a swarm with a virgin. You had my useful advice but, as usual, you were blinkered by your inexperience of the time-scale for a queen (with a prime swarm) starting to lay. They would not have swarmed if she was going to be off-lay for a month.

Response is coming all the same. If you don't want the truth or are going to ignore it, why bother to ask in the first place. Of course your queen was mated one, of course you knew that - if you say so. Of course with that many hives you should have known. Of course all the new beeks will listen to you; not Finman and others who know exactly where you are not coming from. A shame you were wrong.

Next you will be telling us it was one of yours and a clipped queen as well?

No response needed. I just know it will be another lame excuse.

He aked if his mind was playing tricks. I agreed wth that bit and clearly disagreed with his other statement.

Not my fault if he was a*$¥. I was probably right, though.

lets look at the alternatives some more likely than others...
1) he has his facts wrong and it was not the 1st swarm and it was a 2nd swarm (cast) with a virgin
2) he has part of the fact wrong its the 1st swarm but its a virgin
3) he has he facts correct and the queen is damaged during swarming and goes off lay.
4) he has his fact correct and the queen is failing but swarms anyway.

I think we have seen alternative 2 occur here(2nd swarm go immediately into lay), but it is a low probability

Just face the facts. He was wrong. He was a*$¥. End of story.
