Hey all,
I bought a 3 lb package about a month ago. I lost the original queen at some point (couldn't find her 2 weeks ago or last week). Also last week it didn't seem like there was any brood (i'm new to this so could have missed some). This week I found a new queen but still no brood. I feel like the timing is all off and there should at least be some brood by now if the new queen is mated. Is it possible for the queen to not become mated?
Thanks for the help
