Suggestions on where to buy queen locally?
Both of my new hives have no queen. Last confirmed sighting was 2 weeks ago.
One hive has multiple queen cells (capped) and a little bit of capped brood.
Last week had just one queen cell, uncapped and small pupae. The other has
nothing but sugar water/nectar and pollen.

I'm thinking to let the one with queen cells hatch. First to hatch will take
care of the other queen cells, take off to mate, then get back to business.

If I can't get a queen locally and quickly, can I swap a frame in that has a
couple of queen cells on it???

Thanks
Karin
