Package Bees

Post by Jim »

I installed a package of bees. I went back in again after a few days to confirm that the queen had been released. The queen cage was empty. How long until I should be able to see little white eggs or any sign she is at work?

seven days after installing is the normal recommendation for checking for eggs.
