Well it looks like I missed a swarm
I'm left with a handful of workers one queen cell that I'm preying is viable and to add insult to injury 3 empty supers.
there seems to be a few bits of brood but all the capped stuff seems to be drones.
I was thinking of throwing a couple of frames of capped brood and a frame of eggs in there and hoping for the best.
But is there a better way?
I have considered shaking the whole lot out on the lawn and buying in a queen or even combining them with another hive but I could do with some advice.
