There is a lot of good advice in the comments below for sure. Hopefully, the Queen starts laying and the hive gets back to some good numbers. Thanks for sharing.
Just came across your channel. This is our first year with bees and I discovered today, I suspected on the last inspection, that we’re queenless on 1 of the hives. We’re also in N. Illinois. This was very helpful, thank you.
Hi I stopped by to visit you're channel. I hit all the buttons and bell I hope you do too Tyfs ❤ I'm soooo Looking forward to seeing more videos!! Have a wonderful day much love to you 🥰
Hi, very informative video, i was wandering if there is laying worker what chances that hive accept new queen... I am dealing with similar situation now. Thank you.
I had a hive like this. No eggs or brood when we got it. For months I added frames with eggs, even tried giving a mated queen. After 2 months I realized they had a queen that just haven’t been laying! Killed the queen then the next frame of eggs I put they made a queen cell
If the bees weren't too far gone and you still had young nurse bees then what you are trying would be OK. Alternatively a hive that has larvae too old to make queens, the easiest method is direct queen introduction of a laying queen (queen in travel cage is not a laying queen) the bees can tell the difference. I have used this method on a few occasions when I don't want to kill a queen and use it for these emergency scenarios.

@@FernvalleyFarm the bees can tell the difference between a queen who was laying eggs 2 minutes ago and directly introduced and a mated queen released from a cage, which may take a couple of days to start laying. The former above will be readily accepted, the latter the bees may have issues with, mated but not able to lay until she is fed by the bees. Scientists did an experiment with a laying queen and were able to introduce her over 200 times without issue.

@@beehinde interesting yea it was queenless for a few weeks she is laying now slowly I appreciate your input you been doing this for a while ?
@@FernvalleyFarm Started back in 1981 as a teenager.
Had same cage, pushed needle through to loosen and they ate themselves out in 3 days.
id rather have the wood square cage easer to put in the hive
