One of my packages installed this year went queenless (just gone) So we re-queened with a purchased queen, and the new queen once again went missing....Now there are no eggs or brood in the hive anymore, and maybe no nurse bees...My question is,,,Is this hive beyound re-queening? I'm not sure where the queens went and I'm content to "paper combine" this hive with another to make use of the bees remaining and hopefully some honey from a strengthend hive....
I might add that I had skunk problems earlier (had lol)...and that this hive, is the end hive in a row of 12, and even though it's been queenless, their #'s have actually grown because of drift....
...Any advise before I do the paper combine would be apreciated....:s
