Last week (sat) I went through my hive, brood on 8 frames, couldn't find queen but there were eggs still so just thought I couldn't find her, there where some small queen cell in the centre of some frames, I left them. Today I went through them again, still couldn't see the elusive one,but found alot of capped queen cells, so me being brave decided to split, I put two frames of brood and one stores into a nuc and the same into a national brood, I also shook some bees into both, all three had queen cell in (sealed).
As there was quite a few q cells I broke one open and there was a lava in it but it was full with royal jelly I think, is there suppose to be that much in a cell?
Hope this works ( bum nipping moment)
