I went into that hive yesterday pulled some honey laden frames & replaced them with frames of empty drawn comb & foundation. while in the hive I saw an unmarked queen! since the missing queen was marked this has to be the from the queen cell I found last week. so the plan now is to add a queen to that queenless swarm & if the queen I found in this hive doesn't work out i'll combine the swarm with it. between swarms, nucs, & splits I'm back up to 16 hives. I have 3 removals on the books so my yard is growing fast.
time to to start building some more woodenware.
