No brood, and no visible queen. I'm just a beginner and
could be mistaken but I saw a lot of capped brood in the other hive.
Interestingly, about three weeks ago I had seen brood in both hives but
just a very few. What do you think I should do?
**************
As insurance, in case there really is no queen in the
apparently-broodless hive, you can put into the broodless hive a frame with
eggs and brood from your other hive. Then, if necessary, the bees can raise
a new queen.
Don't move the queen from the good hive by mistake!
