Hi
I have a hive that swarmed earlier in the year, quite early on.
Around 2 months ago I checked it for Queen cells and there were 2 with grubs in which I left.
Anyway around a 3-4 weeks ago I last did an inspection and found there were grubs, so confident that the queen had emerged.
Checked yesterday (as wanted to leave her to it), found lots of bees but no grubs or brood.
Am I stuffed? Anything I can do to salvage?
Cheers
Nick
