Hello Ari
  The observation of queen rearing and honey flow relations applies in
my case. The honey flow here in central Pennsylvania is still on. A
neighbor had a super of foundation drawn out last week.
  Is it possible this queen cell failure is actually a shortage of young
nurse bees? A honey flow would take all of the older bees out of the
colony.
