I went to do a final thorough inspection of my bees at the weekend while the weather was still good and came away a little concerned. I didn't spot the queen which has got me very paranoid as I could see no eggs either (not much room to lay until some more bees have emerged though). On the plus side there were some very young larvae and no sign of emergency queen cells.
What really had me puzzled though was that they have created a small patch of drone brood which was just starting to emerge. Is it unusual to have newly born drones at this time of year as I had the impression that it was?
So...am I worrying about nothing? or could there be something up?
