I inspected my strongest hive last Saturday 4/26/97 and found eggs in the queen cells along the bottom of the second deep. I use a slatted rack. This hive was requeened last fall. What are recommended courses of action. I have a four frame and a five frame nuc available. I have ordered a queen, I'm not sure when it will arrive. I have no extra drawn deep comb. My choices seem to be: - make a couple of nucs to reduce the population - let things alone and see what happens - do a split with a new queen - do a split without a queen - put on a third deep and checkerboard the with new foundation and the comb from the two deeps. - ? What should be the timing for any of these and what should I be loooking for? I'm not trying to maximize my honey production as much as I'm trying to learn as much as I can.
