I have 2 hives and hive #2 i done a queen release inspection and the queen was released. I couldnt find the queen and it seemed like everything is going ok so far for a 5 day inspection. I closed it up and went to hive #1, it was installed 11 days ago. I couldnt find the queen but the bees was really sluggish...I have no idea how they act and what times of day they might pick up the pace but to me they was just slow. Plus i seen a few with just their heads in the cell like they are starving and thats impossible when they have 3 jars and brood building patties. I added some honey b healthy to their 1:1 feed mix, hopefully that will perk them up some. I seen some moisture as well. I have a SBB opened all the time, then a deep hive body, inner cover, a double jar feeder and a empty hive body covering the jars and a screen before the lid, smooth side down. Should i take the screen out??.I dont see any reason why but im just trying to find out if anything is wrong and describe the best i can! Thanks for any advice!!
