I posted in the TBH my disaster of an experience with cross comb-Thankfully you'll came running and helped me try to reattach the entire 1 week old hive I had to take down.
3 Questions Today during my observations
1-I never saw the queen yesterday when this mess took place and I fear I killed her. What does a queenless hive look like? Because of the fragile nature of everything I don't want to open it up and look again for another week? What should I be looking for? They were bringing back pollen today and really active-that's good right?
2-I peeked through the opening and could see that one of the combs i tried to reattach didn't make it and is laying on the bottom of the hive. I was going to leave it as it was full of eggs unless advised to remove asap?
3-I am seeing some bees now (which is new) that have white hairs on the their thorax? Is this bee old age? I'll try to take a picture if needed, but I'm assuming someone knows what I'm talking about.
Thanks
