2 weeks ago I found sealed Q cells. Feeling prepared, I did an artifical swarm immediately: Moved old hive to one side. Took out Q with 2 brood frames and put in new hive on old site. Left 2 Q cells in old hive. 4 days later moved old hive to other side of new hive. Today I look in the new hive (old queen) - most bees are all clustering (3/4 bees deep) on the two frames of brood. After a lot of looking I saw the old queen and a few eggs, larvae, and also ome more Q cells, some empty and one with a young larvae in ! Why ? I thought that doing this procedure would 'fool' the old queen and her mainly older bees that they had already swarmed. Any ideas ? Is this Queen failing perhaps ? Graham
