Ok so now you got me nervous. I went in and fed mine yesterday but I think I better dive in and see what's going on if you already have swarm cells. Your survivors are looking strong! Take Care!

[@33MileBees]

Totally caught me off guard. It was the only one that had swarm cells, so not 100% if they are confused or what's going on with it.

[@lomavistabeeco]

I’m glad you are able to get in those boxes!

[@33MileBees]

Me too!!

[@josephrawls]

Isn’t it amazing how they have all that room and start making swarm cells? I had the same issue down here with few hives.

[@33MileBees]

Yea I was expecting the bottom box to be full, nope completely empty

​​@@33MileBeeswith the empty bottom, appearance of chewed out cells in the bottom, seems like swarm impulse isn't the cause of the cells then? Did you ever find the queen? Are they replacing her?
