Hi there, Just done my second inspection, found the queen and marked her. Yaay. Not knowing her age as this was from a swarm I marked her white and made a note on the record that she is marked white, age unknown. Released her back onto the frame and she flew away!!! Panic stations. Managed to fetch her back and made sure she went down into the frames this time.
The thing I noticed most on this inspection was the lack of drones and drone capped brood. Its all workers and worker brood as far as I can see. Is this normal?
