[QUOTE="Martin Sefton, post: 9313, member: 551"] Hi I caught a swarm a week ago and placed it in an Ecrotek nuc box whilst I assessed the colony for any disease. Checked today and I couldn’t locate the queen there were some eggs but very little (and two eggs in some cells). There are a number of queen cells formed, some appear to be swarm cells, whilst others are in the middle of the frame so supercedure cells. Should I remove any of these cells? I’m thinking keep the supercedure and remove swarm. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks Martin[ATTACH type="full"]1130[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
