Hi all,
I have had packages for many years now. Today almost 3 weeks after hiving them I checked on some and found that a few of them had no brood what so ever. Finding this odd I looked and found the queens. There was drawn comb and there were alot of eggs in good laying patterns. Its been on the cool side (60s) until late last week when it got to almost 80. Why would there only be eggs after so long? Brood disease of some type? The only thing I could think of is the queens were virgins and mated when it got warm last week.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Willie
