New Bee
Beginners help and advice please.
First year got two nucs end of April... this hive possible swarmed around the end of may as i discovered 6 capped QC's on the 25th May. I removed all but one which did emerge on the 31st May. Didn't see any sign of eggs until the 27th June which i was delighted with so i said i'd leave them be for a while but i did inspect today. I have attached 5 pics so i saw plenty of capped brood and fresh eggs but also 3 capped QC's and i looked but didn't spot the new queen she isnt marked or clipped obviously... so i closed it all back up and wait for some advice. Thanks Jan
p.s i also have drama in hive 2 but i will post in a separate tread !!
