When I was lifting crown board a week ago, to see how they were doing, I noticed some of they were a bit on the small size in population. Two of them were transferred into national poly nucs straight away, the other was a commercial and I did not get a chance to transfer them till yesterday. When I opened the hive it was too late, as they had all died out. As I was going through the frames I noticed the queen. I picked her up and thought I noticed a bit of movement. I put her on the front dash of the van in the sunshine and closed up the doors for a bit of heat. Twenty minutes later she was walking across the front dash of the van. Alas, I had nowhere to put her so her resurrection was short lived.
