Hello all,
Right now we are at the start of the honey flow here in the Yucatan
peninsula in southern Mexico, and I have noticed something strange while
checking my colonies for the season... (It4s only my second year)
I found about 10 hives without a queen (obviously no brood or eggs), but all
the brood area is covered with honey. The strange thing is that all of the
queen-right colonies do not have such great supplies of honey, only a little
honey around the brood area, as usual. So I wonder: Are the queen-less
hives working harder for the honey? Or do they have more honey because they
have no brood to feed?
...Sorry to bother you, and hope I will get some comments.
X-mas greetings to all,
