> I think this is a reliable indicator that the Queen is OK and I need not mess around with examining frames and squinting to see tiny tiny brood cells. I will make sure they have plenty of room. If they want to make a new queen that is ok with me. Let the dominant queen rule!
Maybe they are doing well. How do you know they aren't hopelessly queenless? If they are, they can't make one. I'd look for some brood. You don't have to find the queen, but you should make sure they have brood.
