Queen stopped laying, then started again...

[TryingToLetThemBee]

Well the OP saw no uncapped brood or eggs yesterday, so still has at least a week to add a treatment before the mites are under wax again, and s/he will not be alone; the weather, at least here, has only been decent again for just under a week.

<ADD> I accept, the effect of treatment is not instantaneous</ADD>

Hi drstitson and others,

Bar one, all my queens are now producing winter bees. Looking back at my hive records for last year, peak winter bee brood was inspection 6 Oct. The one which was totally broodless, have started bringing in pollen, but have not inspected yet! However, it has been perfect brood rearing weather here with warm nights, so if not why not? Have not seen really heavy loads of Ivy pollen yet though. Three put to bed, one to go!

Hi all,
4 x Q+. Phew, three day old eggs in my broodless colony seen yday. Still waiting to see Ivy pollen frenzy from last year duplicated!
