Hi all,
I've found what appears to be a queen cell in one of my honey supers. It
is in the middle of the frame and looks like a protruding peanut. There
were no larvae in the second brood chamber, so it seems pretty clear
that the hive is queenless. I haven't found any irregular brood patters
that would suggest lots of workers are laying. Currently these bees are
really packing honey away. The hive still seems strong. What are some
possible scenarios to expect in terms of honey inspection? How can I
make sure this queen is a success?
Thanks for the help.
Josh
Oh, and I have some pretty good pictures if anybody would like to see them.
