Hived 2 packages on the 12th
Booming hive eats 24 oz of 5:3 syrup in less than 24 hrs started on 9 bars added 3 more in last couple of days
large comb built out on 8 bars, I took pictures of all the large comb both sides but the pictures didnt turn out
Weak hive eats 24 oz of syrup in 5-6 days, I suspect the queen did not make it or has a problem. Only built some comb on 2 bars. There is a barrell shaped queen cup built in the middle of the largest comb.
and they dont seem as active as the other hive.
I looked for the queen but I did not find her but I'm new at this as may have missed her.
Should I ask for a replacement queen or give them some more time ?
