Three weeks ago I have housed a swarm from my original hive. However, there has been no egg laying to date, but there is drawn comb. As the bees are quite docile, I suspect they do have an unmated queen.
The problem is seeing her! Does anyone have any tips for finding a virgin queen bee? I have looked and looked but cannot find her and I do need to as I wish to introduce a new mated queen in her place, which is of known good stock.
