Mark, You mentioned having a second hive. Take a frame or two of fresh eggs from the hive with a laying queen, swap an empty frame(s) from the queenless hive in it's place. Leave the hive alone for 28-30 days. You may check after a day or two to see if they have started a queen cell, and verify again that you are truly queenless. But don't go back in and pull brood frames for 17-20 days. It takes 17 days for a queen to hatch, you don't want to destroy a good supercedure queen cell that may be attached to another frame. Let the bees do their jobs. This will also give you a brood break, which will assist in varroa control. If you still have a queen in the hive, you will have no problems, just more bees.
Keep on Keeping on, Jamie From: ocba <ocba-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org> on behalf of Walter Starks <walterstarks AT icloud.com>
