I have a very aggressive hive I think they were queen less ( no larva or eggs )
we got this hive and another from a commercial beek other hive fine we had done a split 1 week after we got (lots of bees) took frame of honey frame of caped brood new queen and i think queen died in transport to our location
hive has become very hard to work like something out of a swarm movie
got new queen to put in but when we went to install checked and we now have some larva eggs small amount of caped brood ect eggs are in center bottom of cell and did not note a lot of drone cells i was wandering how long after new queen (did not see her) would it take for hive to quiet down
Thanks David
