Queen Questions

<< < (2/2)

B DOG:
i know this may be hard to find a new queen, the best is to look to eggs and they may be hard to see so the next thing to do is look at the larva. a week form now you should have a dermatic drop in population if there is no queen. are there any queen cells? bees will raise a new queen if they have larva and eggs. the larva should be intermixed with new eggs. if in the center of your brood box there are a bunch of enpty cells no eggs no larva requeen but give it 7 days befor you make your decision. if in 7 days you still see no larva and no sign of a queen and your population dropes it would be a safe bet to order a new one.
