Hi all,
What is your action when you see eggs in qcs?
I know technically it is not a definite call to swarm unless charged with royal jelly.
If one does nothing until the next week, then they could be gone, if say the egg was 2 days old.
I don't have the time to check their progress in a few days, nor do I want my whole life and spare time going to the bees to check for possible qc progress.
So, what do you do, assuming you check weekly, when you see eggs in cups?
