New Bee
Hi Everyone,
I completed a queenless split on the 11 April, placing bees, unsealed brood, food stores and capped brood in to a Nuc.
I managed the queen cells made, leaving only one.
On the 30 April I was lucky enough to see the queen starting to hatch - (I had to check because I was away with for for a week the following day)
Having checked today 5 May, I can see no queen, no eggs only lots of stores.
I've added a new frame of unsealed young brood/eggs - to see if queen cells are made. Can anyone offer any other advice please? They have a tonne of food stored but only that.
Thanks,
Jon
