Hi everyone,
I performed a Demaree to try to prevent swarming eaelier in the year. I couldn't find the queen, so I shook al of the bees into the new brood box and filled it with new foundation (i didn't have any drawn frames). The bees didn't draw any of the comb in the bottom brood box, which I thought was bit odd.
Once the brood had emerged in the top BB I moved soe of the frames down, ater week, there were lots of eggs, the vast majority were single eggs at the bottom of cells, but I spotted a few cells with more than one egg (all on the bottom of the cell).
The laying pattern looks good my beginners eyes, and the capping are flush with the comb surface, but I'd like a second opinion, hence posting pics of the frames here.
