well, everything was fine...
looked in the hive today, no queen, no eggs, no capped brood, just tons of pollen and nectar. i don't even have a laying worker yet.
anyone know where i can get a queen ASAP?

i actually found someone about an hour away that has some queens for sale. hopefully i can get her in the hive tomorrow.
picked up a queen, put the queen cage in the hive, angry off the hive, got stung in the small of my back. mental note, wear longer shirts that don't come untucked when you squat!
in 4 days i check the hive and see if everything is cool.
