After 2 week break, I return to the hive and found that there was no brood, no eggs no nothing. I contacted The Beekeeper who gave me the first queen and on Thursday June 22nd I installed a summer Queen trapped in a push in cage on a frame of capped and open brood and eggs. That should help with the transition and in five to seven days I will take that cage off. I want to be sure that there is no Virgin Queen running around in the hive, or that there are no laying workers. When I check. I will double check to be sure that they're not still biting at the queen in the cage.
