Help! I just finished my monthly inspection and, although I still have a fair number of workers and TONNES of honey, bread, etc, I found no queen, eggs or exposed larvae - just a few capped cells. Good news is I didn’t see any laying workers yet, either. I am supposed to get a new queen in about a month but I fear the hive won’t make it that long. I was wondering if anyone in the SE Phoenix Valley area would be willing to spot me a frame of brood to hold me over. I will happily return the favor (or pay $$$ if you prefer).
Wish I could, but I don’t think they would stay warm all the way from San Diego, CA.
