Any tips for ensuring bees survive a day in an observation hive ? Using a 3 frame hive with lots of food ... returned the frames to the poly neuc and have fed. But anything else to consider ? They are a back up colony but want to do right by them, should I check for queen cells in the frames that were queenless for the day or will they sort themselves out once she is returned ?? Also when she was on display the queen laid eggs on the glass? Any explanation apart from the fact she was having an upsetting day ?
Thanks for any advice.
