Hi everyone I am excited to say I saw the queen again in my hive but she still was not laying t
I made the split on February 3rd with a 4 to 5 day old larvae in a queen cell cup, I checked the hive again on the 23rd of February and was able to spot the queen with her head down in a cell. Since then I made another inspection discovering almost all of the brood box had been used for storing honey. I determined that there must have been too much honey for the queen to lay or honey bound. So I removed two frames of honey and in the process located and spotted the queen again she was exceptionally larger than before but still no eggs or larvae so after swapping the two honey frames out with foundationed frames I am hoping this will cure the honey bound hive and she will start laying. My question is should I check the hive again today? It has been a full week since I swapped the frames. Thanks, Jay P
