Strange subject line, eh?<\/p>\n
My oldest hive seems to have lost its queen over the last month or two.\u00a0 The brood boxes are full of honey and pollen.. and LOTS of drones… but not a single egg, larvae, or capped brood in 2 deeps and 2 supers.<\/p>\n
My latest captured swarm has filled out EVERY available newly waxed cell with eggs – so this evening, I took one of the new frames of eggs, and placed into the lower brood box of my original hive.\u00a0 I knocked down the bottom 1\/3 of 7 or 8 of the cells in order to persuade them to create a new queen from one of the freshly laid eggs.\u00a0 I’m REALLY liking the last captured swarm.<\/p>\n
