9th June Inspection

These are my WBC hives.  Blue colony has 5 full brood combs (right to the edges) eggs, all stages larvae and capped brood.; saw White Queen walking around an empty comb.
Plenty pollen and nectar. Bees calm and happy.
Red hive behind as bees made comb above winter super and the Q laid her eggs in it!  I put all colony + Q in the brood box below a queen excluder (QX) so she had to start over. Now has 3 full combs of all stages brood. Saw Blue Queen.  Plenty of stores.
Yellow hive has 5 frames of brood , plenty of pollen & nectar. Didn't see  White Q but lots of eggs so she must be there somewhere.
Now, what about the Silver hive - without a Queen - we lost her sometime before 1st inspection.
The bees seem happy and content and are busy polishing cells. Have they a new Queen?
To find out I gave them a comb of eggs from the Blue colony.  If they are queenless they will start to build queen cells around some of these eggs.
Watch this space !!   Happy buzzing QB ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
