My queen died sometime last winter on one hive. It was very strong last fall and fed well.
Now the numbers are low and no eggs, brood or queen. I added a frame with eggs and all stages of brood but after 2 days they didn't start queen cells. The numbers are low enough that I am positive there is no queen there.
If some workers are soon to become laying workers would this hive never build queen cells if I continue adding more frames of brood?
