[QUOTE="Mummzie, post: 8617, member: 5"] Welcome Stephen. You certainly have had an exciting introduction. Its always good to have a spare hive, and a nuc is good for a beginner to watch it grow. Take a good read of the section about the queens development. Hive 1 will likely have a new queen, hatched round 26 oct. She should have had her mating flights by now and have begun laying if she got back safely etc, I would give it a couple of weeks before deciding its queenless. Don't worry about the cockroaches- a hive tool deals to them if you are quick enough. You could try putting a few handfuls of fresh grass on the crown board to deter the ants. [/QUOTE]
