[QUOTE="Wildflower, post: 11741, member: 74"] Curious..... Was this queen useless? Or about to swarm? My hive had no eggs. Just 1 week old larva.Nothing smaller. There were some empty incomplete swarm cells and 1 empty incomplete queen cell. I checked hive before introducing a new queen about 6 days later. Still no eggs. Removed empty swarm cells, then found queen cell actually had a small larva in it. Just couple days old. Then I found queen. Rain was about to bucket down ,so couldn't be bothered to do a split with cell. So removed it. Accidently hurt queen when I picked her up. So she's a gonner. Were they replacing her? [/QUOTE]
