Do you feel it also prudent to put some sugar syrup on them after swapping a couple of frames around? Often this triggers the queen into action & pollen collection ramps up to produce bee bread since honey is in supply.
Hi, the reason I didn’t is we are now in the honey flow and the weather has gotten better so they are able to bring in the goods. If using new undrawn frames you could use syrup, I just like the bees to try to sort themselves a little. 🐝

Replace the queen
Will monitor and see but they have kicked into gear now, I like to give them a chance as the weather has been abysmal this spring. 🐝
