Hey everyone,
Do queens sometimes quit laying for a couple of weeks and then start back? I was thinking that, in a small colony, she may feel that there are not enough nurse bees to keep the eggs warm and wait for more to hatch before she continues laying. My reasoning may be wrong though. I have had two hives that fooled me into thinking that they were queenless. LOL.
Thanks in advance.
