Cheers Alan, I’ll trust that the bees know what they’re doing 
Are supercedure cells more desirable than emergency/ swarm cells?
Should I inspect on the weekend to confirm that both cells are charged? I’m certainly sure one is. Am I risking the new queen in the process?
I gave my little brain a workout trying to work out what BIAS stands for. What is it mate? I’m obviously not very good at beekeeping …
My understanding is that you made a split, that split was queenless, so they made a supercedure queen cell to make a new queen. You don’t want a swarm cell, which is usually in the bottom of the frames.
I think everything is working like clockwork. Did you find any queen cells, or the queen in the other split?
Hi Fred, As you know there is a queen cell and a new queen under way I would let nature take its course and leave the hive for 4 weeks then look for a mated queen and larvae. Very tempting to take a look but I wouldn’t.
Cheers
I’d say an emergency queen, they’re not superceding.
Leave em alone fffffffred let em do their thing.
You’re right. Supercedure cell is when the old queen is still there. But definitely not a swarming cell in Fred’s case.
Brood In All Stages 
Hi Zzz. I have a tip for you: I find if I google “bias in beekeeping” for example, I’ll generally find the answer. I see that Eva has answered your question. I had to do that with BIAS myself, plus quite a few other terms that were foreign to me,
Will do skegggggggley 
Hey, Fffffffred, how’s it going over your way?
How is your summer split going?
(Bump)
Hey Skegs, I did what you told me to do… I’ve left them alone…
It’s been 22d since those queen cells started forming. I’ve got in my diary to check a week from now.
I figured eggs are hard to spot. Hatched larvae is easier and capped brood is easiest. Waiting a week can’t hurt right?
Who knows, queen might be on her mating flight now… though I hope not, given the rain we’ve had today…
I’ll report back on the weekend if you’re getting impatient
There has been plenty of guard bees at the entrance if that’s anything good to go by…
Well, we have a laying queen in the new nuc box 
The nuc box entrance:
Capped brood:
Eggs and larvae:
As usual, didn’t see her Majesty. But I only pulled up 2 frames.
Well done Fred, your future splits will be less stressful on you mate. Great pics too.
Cheers
That is awesome mate. Keep an eye on their honey stores. Up this way the flow is ebbing.
See your new queen in the 2nd photo mate?
I’m not convinced that is the queen Fred. Thorax looks a bit hairy, usually it is shiny black. But I don’t have much experience with very new queens.
I’m inclined to agree with @Zzz and I suspect a very young worker bee going by the amount of body hair that can ‘hide’ the black bands.
Cheers
Maybe @skeggley is referring to a different one…
I found about five queens!
I’m inclined to think that is a queen. She has a more prominent thorax than the rest. She’s missing the stripes. Plus none of the other bees have the splayed legs like she has.
