Hello all,
I'm quite desperate now... I've bought a nuc two weeks ago, transferred the frames to a hive, travelled with it in the back if my car and installed them at their location. A week ago, i just added a second brood box, but didn't inspect. Today I've inspected the hive and only found capped brood, and only on the frames that were in the nuc ( there were eggs when i've trsffered the frames). I was just thinking that i may have lost the queen during the transfer or travel when I spotted it! So, i have a queen... Do you think my queen has been "damaged" during the travel? I didn't spot any queen cell, but was more focused on finding eggs... What should i do? Wait and see or order a queen and destroy this one?
Any input will be very appreciated...
