>One of my colonies swarmed on April 7th and I looked in on them yesterday, April 21. I did not see any eggs or evidence of a new queen but did see several queen cells, some with the tips cracked open and a few still closed off. What should I do?
They will swarm the day of or the day after the first queen cell is capped. That queen will emerge 7 days later. She will harden a few days, orient a few days and eventually mate and will be laying 2 weeks after that (+- a week). So I would expect to see eggs most likely on April 28th and for sure by May 5th. I would never expect to see any before April the 21st and probably not before April 28th. Today is the 23rd.
