Tom,
I did check for a queen but I am not the best at finding queens.  Since I
gave them brood and eggs and they started a queen cell, would not this
indicate that there is no queen?
If this is true, should I leave it alone or buy a mated queen and destroy the
cell?
no nectar now.  I put on apistan and am feeding to try to build for the
goldenrod and Aster flow.
