[QUOTE="Josh, post: 11742, member: 16"] I don’t know the answer, but FYI you get better responses on here with photos to help. My hive that tried to swarm I thought had clearly held the queen back with much reduced laying the week prior. Cleary swarm planning as there were >doz charged but not capped cells. But, weirdly after measures (Demaree method)were taken the queen hasn’t kicked back into gear yet (1 week later) Maybe she was failing too… she’s two, maybe older, needed to take better notes (lesson learnt there 😅) Going to check tomorrow (🤞) and have a spare hive to merge if things aren’t looking promising.
