Title: Swarm condition.
Post by: BeeJay on August 06, 2007, 06:34:51 PM
Hi,

Last week I had my first swarm of the year, opened the hive today and no eggs or brood! What to do? I think the queen went back to original hive because they are stronger then ever.  I did feed both hive and lots of foraging still going on.  What should I do next?

hello,

Did you locate a queen in the original hive and are there eggs?  What about the swarm hive, no queen?
