[QUOTE="Timw, post: 261, member: 164"] 5 weeks after hiving a swarm into a Warre there are 2 boxes of honey with drone brood in the middle combs and no worker brood. Clearly loss of queen and a drone layer has taken over. I plan (on advice) to swap out a couple of “frames” with “comb (“frames”) with eggs and open brood from another hive - a novel experience I presume I transfer the nurse bees into the queenless hive?? what about the frames I take out from the queenless hive? Is it ok to put that into the queenright hive - and should I avoid transferring drone brood - ie just honey frames to replace the egg frames removed. - if you get my drift (whew) [/QUOTE]

What type of honey is New Zealand famous for?
