My second year of beekeeping so still considered a newbie.
Bees are hanging out on bottom board for two days and appear to be doing the Hokey Pokey. Most noses inward and it's like they are rocking back and forth.
A few things:
1) Things appeared to be going well and added new boxes over months to accommodate hive growth.
2) Noticed reduction of brood & no larvae and two queen caps. Could not find queen.
3) Checked following week or so and less brood no larvae and queen caps had no larvae and never capped. Could not find queen again.
4) Ordered new queen and placed in hive
5) 3-4 days bees released her
6) Ever since queen released bees hanging out. There are foragers that come and go but not nearly as active. Hive still full of bees.
7) It has been 85-90F here for several days and humid with some pop up thunderstorms.
What say you experts? I posted video at the following site.
