a failing nuc. Took the frame from silver hive - hoping they can make up the loss.
The queen no longer seems to be in the nuc.
When these queens go a.w.o.l. where exactly do they go?
Anyway, if the little colony starts to build new queen cells around these new eggs
we have just about enough time to hatch out (say 24th Aug.), get her mated and laying
in September. Given a really good Autumn the colony might just be strong enough
to get through the winter!
So many "ifs" in bee-keeping!
