I live in central Iowa and had a queen-less hive that produced a new queen 15 days ago. I checked today and i am about 90% sure that she is no longer around because i cant find any eggs or her. Should i wait longer or try to get a new queen?
Sounds like a plan! I am in the waiting game AGAIN with a NUC I started 3 in May. I thought I had a queen cell 1-1/2 months ago, and then found the hive queenless late in July. I pulled a frame with very young brood from another hive and put it in the NUC on 7-26, so I will be checking for signs of the queen at the end of this month.Thanks Gary for the info
I will give it a few more days along with adding a frame with some eggs and young brood as well
