I have a dilemma.  I am in my first season of beekeeping.  I purchased a nuc
about a month ago and immediately transferred it into a new hive.  I Have been
unable to find the queen the last four or five times I have worked the hive.
however, there are new eggs in the hive.  I have had continual problems with this
hive producing queen cups and queen cells.  I didn't cut them out last week, and
today they were capped.  I did, however, find some new eggs in there.  There is
much less uncapped brood than there was, but there are quite a few eggs, in a
decent pattern, but not really to my liking, and with no cells having multiple
eggs.  I want to requeen, but I can't find that queen.  Is this the right thing
to do?  Any advice would be appreciated.
Erick
