Hello all, I am a newer beekeeper /Host. We inherited a bee family and inspected them for the second time today. We were looking for queen in the hopes to mark her today but still could not find her. What we did find is what we think are queen bee cups. I am not sure if they are emergency or what not. We will inspect again next week and I will take pictures and post them. To me it looked like about 5 queen cups and I could see in a few of them and saw large larvae. They are not peanut shaped and big however so I am wondering if they are just drones. Whatever the case we are pretty sad that we have not found her yet. There is larvae in the brood, but the cups threw us off. Any input would be great!
