Well It has been a weak+ and I have no Queen. I have an option to go buy a Queen or wait and see if they produce one? I see that there are at least 2 Queen cells but I do not know when they will hatch. It takes 16 days (from egg to adult) to produce a Queen. It do not know when the queen cell was produced but I am going to check again in about 10 days. That should be plenty of time. Again, I could go out and buy one but I need to learn how this all works and get practical knowledge vs. a book knowledge. This will probably hurt my chances on getting any honey on the next honey flow but I need to learn. I did take a frame of brood from the strong hive and switched it with the weak hive. I hope this will help some and maybee keep my strong hive from swarming. At least I should get some honey from my strong hive.
I also put a bid on an honey extractor on ebay. This bee hobby/biz iz getting expensive!!
