My hive swarmed about a month ago, I did not catch it. So after it swarmed, I saw queen cells in hive. Now, new queen has emerged about a week ago, and I question her fertility. She is laying a very good, full brood pattern. But it all seems to be drone brood. Is this something I need to worry about. There are not multiple eggs in cells, all eggs are in bottom center of cell. Is it possible she thought the hive needed a bunch of drones, and she will start laying worker brood? I would like to give it a little time, but not too long. I have a guy I can get a new queen from by early next week if I need one.
Thanks for your answers/opinons.
I would give it a week or so for her to get everything in order so to speak.
Thanks for your input. I am still a novice at this, into my third year. One thing I have tried to learn is not to be in too big of a hurry. But it seems like with beekeeping, you can be too late pretty easy also.
