The day I planned to do an AS had me in a panic, I had bait boxes up as normal and then husband come in saying get your gear on you've got a swarm. Blast I thought left that artificial swarm too late. Nope it was someone else's. Nice size 3frames covered, left them bee for a few days then went in for proper check. Few eggs and found her majesty. Put a mark on her as unmarked. Yesterday no sign of her and queen cells FFS guess they killed her off because they didn't like the paint?? No new eggs so just got to wait now. I often don't mark my queen's and just thought I would be good. Oh well back to the drawing board
