last Sunday, I took a frame from my strong hive and gave it to a hive that is suspected to have a newly hatched virgin in it. I put the frame in there as insurance, just in case. I go and check today, and I see uncapped larvae. Now I look at the ol bee math chart, and it says that brood will be capped in nine days, however, It also says that if you see uncapped larvae and brood, that you had a queen 4 days ago. I guess the simple form of this question is.... If I put a frame in the weak hive, and I look at that frame today and see uncapped larvae. Is that from the queen in the original hive that I took the frame from? or did the virgin queen finally start laying?
