Hi All,
I started a nuc three weeks ago with a frame that had a queen cell on it and
four brood
frames with honey and pollen. I looked in about a week later and it looked
like the queen had hatched. Today I looked in there and there are lots of
bees but only a little
tiny bit of sort of old looking brood. I looked very carefully for the queen
and couldn't find one. What do you think? Should I order another queen or
try to combine it with another hive? Or is it possible that the queen is
small and I couldn't find her? If this is the case then why hasn't she laid
any eggs yet?
Thanks for any help.
Mary
