Sad News










Her Majesty the Queen seems to be gone. The colony is very small, at 3 frames (frames 2, 3 and 4 from the track side have bees, and only a few on #5) and no eggs or uncapped brood can be seen. there are no queen cells in evidence.
It looks bad for the colony. Pj says it can take weeks to establish a new queen to lay.
