I have a colony which now has no brood
From my previous postings you regulars will instantly guess which one and you all have the statutory right to say I told you so.Theres plenty of active bees and surprisingly they are one of the the best behaved of all They are taking syrup,foraging pollen and filling stores,leaving space for brood thats no longer arriving.
I suspected something was up on Thursday evening but the light levels were not helping.I couldn't see eggs in the other hives either but I've seen there's fecundity in those today
I'm hoping it's not too late to do anything and
I've ordered a buckfast which I'm getting in the morning -I could use her elsewhere if it turns out to be.
I could take a frame from my strongest group who have almost filled up their first box-if that's not wasting bees.
I'd rather fix them than scrap them,and no I'm not going back to the vendor as things would get unpleasant.
Any advice,tips on top of the YouTube stuff I've seen?
