Queen stopped laying

[The bees knees honey]

Maybe I was to keen to get in and look at them hope iv not ruined them. I will leave them well alone for the next month apart from checking stores. Pollen has been coming in today.

Surrey/Berks....some emerging now some already emerged in larger hives. Don’t be surprised in slightly better years it’s only a week or so till first swarm reports. And yes normal in most years to find some on first inspections. In pic drone brood middle right hand edge.

Nice pic. Queen top far right too!

You’ll be fine not ruined at all.

One can ruin struggling colonies, but usually unnecessary interference just slows down the colony spring development.
