I've heard, and let me know if I am mistaken because I hear a lot of things, that one should not disturb the hive when a colony is rearing a new queen. I've got three queen cells that are about 10 days old. I would like to make sure that the bees have what they need (brood, food and space) but I don't want to upset the delicate balance of nature.
Any advice for what and what not to do during the next three weeks?
I don't have alot of experience, but I recently split a hive with queen cells because they were too strong. It depents on your goal at the moment. I learn alot by experimentation.
