[QUOTE="boyesee, post: 8013, member: 267"] So update after a few weeks…the hive with the old Queen on the old site is doing really well. I put the extra box on and that seemed to calm things down. After checking back about a week later the queen had laid about 4 frames of new larvae in the new box in great pattern. Activity in hive back to normal so have just left them to it. The new hive on the new site though. Had several Queen cells so I left. Activity picked up and on a couple of afternoons had lots of bees swaying back and forward outside so thought might be a mating flight. About a week after that the hive swarmed. (Just what I was trying to prevent!) Recaptured the swarm and rehoused. The new hive still had a few Queen cells and I couldn’t see a queen so squashed all but one and have left hive. Checking in again on this hive in couple of days to see if it now has queen. [/QUOTE]
