So, after thinking a small nuc was queenless on 4/30 then finding a young queen 2 days later (she must have been 'out' on 4/30), what is the longest amount of time I give her until she is declared a dude? We checked today and no eggs. Saw her and she was wandering around doing nothing, bees not paying a lot of attention to her. I went ahead and added a frame of eggs/brood. She's pretty and I have hopes for her but I'm not holding my breath. When do I give up and pinch her?
