Title: more help: re this stinks thread
Post by: rgy on June 07, 2010, 08:57:53 PM
thought we had a Queen on the way but no evidence of that tonight.  we do have what looks to be a worker/layer!  3-4 eggs per cell - no pattern- some on the side of the cells-  I think I found her and got rid of her. there are no other queen cells.  what should we do?  (i hope i did not premature anything)

1: buy a nuc (available local) and combine?
2: nature takes over?
3: rob a brood frame from my good hive?

now that nuc's are available I think I am going to avandon my "scored equipment " swarm trap and get another hive :-D!!
