Hi Bee folks!
Well, I first did a search in the archives under "laying workers" and
got back about a 4" stack of print out with hardly any of it pertaining
to laying workers. So I am asking those of you who have had experience
with this problem to please help me out. I captured a swarm and I guess
something happened to the queen. I had it in a deep box for about 3
weeks and I started to see signs of laying workers, ie. mutiple eggs in
one cell, eggs on the sides of cells etc. I opened the hive the other
day and found about 7 frames of bullet drone brood. Nothing else, just
drone brood. I had tried to requeen this hive 2 times and I still have
had no luck. Could some of you who know how to correct this condition
please write me and give me some ideas?? I understand that shaking the
frames 30' away from the hive does not work. I could combine the hive
or just "off" the bad boys and try again next year. I would really like
to know if there is a way to get this hive back on track with out using
any of those options. Please e-mail me personally as not to bore the
rest of the old timers or, if you have some real profound words of
wisdom, post to the list.
Thanks
