Hey everyone,
Looking around for some advice. Maybe I blew it already. I've got 2 hives with laying workers. 3 or more eggs in each cell, all the brood is drone, and even some eggs in cells that have pollen in them.
I introduced a mated queen into each of those hives. Did I send them in for execution?
When I placed them in the hive they weren't balled up at all.
I just read through Bush's discussion on laying workers and it seems like what I did is kind of a crap shoot, anyone have experience with this?
I would appreciate any advice.
