We used the vacuum in order to get as many bees as possible so that we would not have a bunch of bees after we left. We did not see the queen the bees kept going up to the top of the wall and into the soffit. I am hoping we have her in the beevac. There was almost no larvae, only a few hatching bees. There were several hatched queen cells and a few cut out queen cells. This is a sure indicator that the bees super swarmed, that is they swarmed over and over again until there is no more brood hatching out. I did find a lot of queen laid eggs. We only ended up with 2 combs of eggs and we put them in a nuc.
Notice that the bees have stripped the cardboard covering from the inside of the drywall. I have seen where they cut through the drywall as well.
