SWARM QUEEN HACKED FULL

Lastly, you might want to add your location to your profile as advice is often geared to the location - there's a lot of difference between what's happening in Aberdeen compared to Brighton at present. The old queen in the swarm (if that's what it is) will be off and laying like a shot - if you have given them just frames of foundation a couple of litres of 1:1 syrup will give them a hand to draw the frames out - if it's a small swarm then I would hope you have put them in a Nuc - if not you may need to dummy the hive down to about five frames as it's going to be a bit hit and miss weather wise this week for foraging. although it's not necessary and will weaken the original colony which will need the bees until your new queen is mated and starts laying. Putting a frame of brood in with the swarm won't do any harm.

ДЇirstly, are you sure the swarm that landed on top of the hive was from that colony ?Д¬ould it be the old queen in the swarm and her marking had worn off - not unheard of with Posca pen markings ?Д®ither way - pick the best of the four queen cells and knock the rest down - those are the new queens for that colony, they are already raising them.

SWARM QUEEN HACKED FULL

I plan to add a super to the old rather full colony tomorrow (i had to build some frames this evening!), I cant belive how quickly they have filled it.Д¬lick to expand.There's something not right here. If the queen is present, and I just cant find her, I think there is a risk they will swarm further but if there isnt a queen then i am i righ to assume they are rearing a new one?ДЇinally, should I remove a frame of brood and add it to the new colony? It would strengthen the small swarm and create some needed space. If the old queen swarmed due to lack of space, and I missed it, and they replaced her why did the new queen also swarm? I found 4 queen cells which I have left for now. Some capped drone brood and more than a few drones. There were lavae and still plenty of capped brood and pollen stores.

However, I couldnt locate the queen, she is marked and a couple of years old. Indeed, they have filled a super already and all frames are well covered in bees. Niles puts Kait in a special brain scanning machine connected to a dormant Berserker known as the Matriarch, which successfully severs Kait from the hivemind but also resurrects Reyna in the process as her consciousness. I thought it a good idea to check the colony they left as I thought they may be short of space and hense the early swarm. Kait panics when she realizes she is the next Locust Queen, and demands that she be separated from the SwarmвЂ™s hivemind. I located the queen and safely installed them in a hive. It wasnt big and landed on the roof of the hive, my wife watched it happenng and called me whilst I was out. I caught a swarm from one of my colonies today. Sorry for jumping on this thread but i have an issue which seems rather relevant.
