[QUOTE="boyesee, post: 7553, member: 267"] Thanks all for the comments. I checked the Queenless box on new site and quite a lot of bees in it with lots of capped brood and plenty of honey and they have made some Queen cells so have just decided to leave it and see what happens. I have put another box on the hive with Queen at existing site. When I added the extra box the bees were super angry. Got a few stings through my suit which was a first. I am wondering if they are actually now queenless. When I took the lid off they all just boiled out at me. Because they were so angry I just closed everything up once I put the new box on and closed everything up. Didn’t get chance to check for brood. Could they be queenless or out of honey. Wondering g if my best option is to get a new Queen as not keen on super angry hive. [/QUOTE]
