Found Torn down queen cells

Thanks.  I didn?t think about that being a possibility.

I should have said poorly mated. There was a bit of worker the first week, but then she went to all drone.

I hope this is not happening in your case. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. Keep up updated please Burley?.

Will do.  Was a good looking pattern but we will see.

I agree BB, the pattern looks good, drone laying tends to b e splattered.
The queen looks OK for a recently mated one, also her ovaries may not expand fully till spring when she will hit full egg production.
Do you bees have enough pollen stored to rear this batch of brood?

[BurleyBee]

Absolutely.  I even stuck a small pollen Pattie in for good measure.

Went to kill mites and check hives today.  I?d say ole new girl doing ok for a late season mate.  We will see how she does in spring.  Thanks for all info everyone contributed.
