Hello,

Hoping someone can help me please.

A few weeks ago part of my hive swarmed but on inspection a queen and queen cells were still present in the hive. I decide to leave alone for the next three weeks to give them time to re-establish, rightly or wrongly ? Yesterday I opened up the hive and a queen was present, plenty of activity from the bees present but no brood. I'm now concerned i will lose what is left unless the queen starts laying and i'm unsure of what I should do. Any pointers / assistance would be gratefully received, cheers Julie
