Hived a swarm a while back and they never really got going. Queen spotted and seems quite happy bimbling about laying an egg now and then.
Had 2 supersedure cells built next to each other the smaller of which def has larvae in and I think some jelly. Other cell has a bees bum in it so couldn't see in.
This hive is very noisy and move quicker compared to my other, almost like they are anxious.
Is there time enough for queen to develop and mate and build up the colony for winter? Anything I should be doing apart from leaving them to it?
