I am trying out a Saskatraz package this year and it has been confusing the hell out of me. First off it took about 10 days to see a couple of eggs, about 14 to see a decent amount. (it had been colder here so when it warmed up eggs started coming) There was also some double laying but I read that could be normal for a newly mated. However, today about 20 days in I have 3 frames full of eggs and larva but 4 queen cells with larva. I know there is larva because I took out 2 of them but thought I should leave the other 2 while I ask for advice. They are not capped yet. In less then 3 weeks its been a roller coaster of queen not laying -->nice shes laying everywhere now! -->Are they trying to replace her?
-Are they trying to replace over the slow start?
-A laying worker wouldn't have all the cells filled and its too early for them right?
-Any advice on the cups? I don't know if I can even leave them because its still early for drones up here
