Im having a problem. Ive been raising queens and lettling them emearg in a queen cage. Then I put them in a nuc that has been queenless for about a day. I was going to put a small marshmellow in it and let the bees free her and I did that for about 4 queens. Then I decided to just release one and see what happens. I watch for a little while and the bee seemed to ignore her. So I did it with the rest.
A couple days later I went back to check and I could find no queens at all - in any of the nucs. Is this just the way it is with this kind of placing queens or could it be that this just isnt the right time of the year for this.
