Hi Folks,
I have a strange issue here that you might be able to help with.
I hived two swarms in the past few weeks. I put them into nuke boxes, added a feeder and left them to it. When I checked them a week or so later they had drawn out the comb and appeared to have settled in well.
However I cannot find a queen in either nuke box… Can't say for certain that she's not there (the old eyes aren't the best) but I've looked and can't find a queen in either box. Any ideas?
