- Subject: [ocba] New queen but dwindling hive
- Date: Sat, 6 Apr 2013 14:21:23 -0400
Hi all. On 3/16 , I preventively split 2 overflowing hives into a new deep. I
moved a mix of brood/pollen/stores (4 frames each). Today we have a new queen
that is not fertilized yet. Bee numbers are dwindling and they are clustered
on about 3 frames now. They abandoned a frame of capped brood and the rest
have hatched. I suspect the cold weather didn't help. I am worried as bees
naturally die off there won't be enough bees. Is it too late to move more
bees or brood into the hive now that there is a new queen?
thanks, mary
