You installed a vsh queen- I assume she was painted. Do you still see her?
Charlie
yes she is still in the hive and she is painted
Queen cells point down.

Are you sure you are not looking at a drone cell?
From the pic, it looks as though this cell is pointing straight ot nearly straight out (horizontally)from the face of the comb.
I didn't know drone cell were that big i hope it is drone cell i don't want to lose the queen
I didn't know drone cell where that big i hope it is drone cell i don't want to lose the queen
Do a search for queen cells and for drone cells and study the images. This will be very useful over time. :)
