Finally released the queen today having been given a colony over the weekend but without a queen who had reverted to her old hive somehow but was delivered 2 days later.
Had to cut out 5 sealed queen cells that were produced in those 2 days and a further 2 that were produced whilst I kept the queen in her cage.
Plenty of honey being brought in and 3 frames of stores with 2 half frames of brood. Hopefully the queen will get on with things now.
