Checked all the colonies to establish whether or not 4 of the 5 were really queenless. Two of the 5 appear to have queens since brood in all different levels of development were observed. The other three seem to be queenless, of which one has a drone layer. Will again inspect these queenless hives next week to see if there is any change.
Hive 1 Brood present. Active colony.
Hive 2 Still no eggs/brood.
Hive 3 Brood present. Active colony.
Hive 4 Still no eggs/brood.
