      @@dcleal1 that really sucks, I hope you can requeen sharpish. I'm going in my hive on Sat, I'm probably not too far from you location wise, the weather has been great, they're working and expanding very quickly, filling 2 supers no problem may put a third on but half expecting swarm cells, not sure if it's too late to demaree but that is the route I'm looking at right now, like you I am new to this :) good luck!
