Checked the hive I split- lots of drones. Hmmm. Bad egg pattern. No queen, but one queen cell. Uh oh. Emergency queen didn't make it, and now I have a laying worker. Sigh. Shook out. Will newspaper combine, because I think it's too late in the year to get a queen hatched and mated.

They normally eat my comb too. You are also lucky as far as that goes. I bet you still have a queen.

Funny thing is, they went for my only Langstroth! 22 hives and they pick the Lang. There should be a study. I might have lost my queen, they have been real pissy and aggresive, even after dark when I was running more hot wire. I was working in the dark with my headlamp and JUMPED at every bump in the night.

How many did they get Rob? Bears have been a huge problem for me in certain areas.
