My best TBH is booming. A major honeyflow started 3 days ago. Yesterday I saw several queen cells, a back filled brood nest with honey, and fairly crowded conditions. I took a couple of bars of brood and eggs from this hive to requeen a weak hive. A week later I notice eggs and no queen cells in the other hive, so I wondered if I accidentally moved the queen over.
So the booming hive has no eggs, is backfilling and showing other plans of swarming. But it might not have a queen. So what do I do? I've removed bars of brood with QC to make nucs, put in blank bars to space out the nest. But I'm unsure what to do from here, as I might be queen less.
I don't think you are queenless, yet. Make some room for them. Take out some honey. Put it in a hive or two with some of the queen cells. Just leave a cell or two in the old hive for after when they swarm.
