Was on my plot late last night and spotted a swarm on the neighbours and thought i'd collect it in the morning, went back today swarm gone.Now tuesday's the day i go through the hives and last tuesday i removed all the queen cells from this swarmed hive hoping that this week i would have chance to do artificial swarm. Today there where 5 capped queen cells which i removed all but one, hows this possible when the book says 8 days to sealed cell, will the remaining queen cell be a scrub queen.
This colony was also a swarm that i hived on the 5th May.
