Friends,
Another bee mystery to unravel.. Last summer we found a queenless
hive-no brood, few bees. Pretty dismal thing. We became busy and
forgot to check on it for two to three weeks. We went back, expecting
to find a hive of wax moths, and found a thriving colony of bees. Good
laying queen, good brood pattern. Since it was so late in the season we
doubt that it was a swarm. Any ideas? Thanks, JT
