left behind bees are without a queen
No viable larva is seen, no queen or queen cells are seen. since the workers live only about 6 weeks, this colony will be extinct unless we can add another queen. Paul brought a queen cell from one of his hives and a queen emerged on the way here. She was carefully introduced to the hive. We will examine the hive in a few days.
