Hey everyone,
Last week I split my hive. I left one queen cell in the old hive and marked the frame which the cell was on.
During my inspection today I pulled out the frame which was supposed to have the queen cell on and it was nowhere to be seen.
I checked the other frames and there were no queen cells in the position I know I left it so I know I didn't make a mistake marking the frame.
Is It possible the cell was completely destroyed by the bees? If so for what reason and is it common?
Thanks in advance
