New Bee
Thoughts please: I was kindly given a nuke by a friend but on transferring it to a hive today I found an unsealed queen cell almost full-length, amongst very few eggs. Some cells had two in. There were also a few larvae and a good amount of sealed brood. I saw the queen. Should I leave them to it and raise a new queen as it looks like supersedure? Here are the bald facts:
QC raised from top box of Demaree transferred to polynuc 22/05/21
Eggs seen 08/06/21
BIAS. Q marked 15/06/21.
Transferred three miles to me,17/06/21
QC discovered 21/06/21
Weather: has been glum for the past week although a few bees are pottering out now and then.
