Well, I got to take the hive apart and do an inspection. There appeared to be lots of bees when I took the cover off, however, they were just at the top. There is only a handful left, and there is no queen. I looked twice thinking maybe I just missed her, nope, no queen. So they are doomed, if I had noticed sooner I would've been able to introduce a queen and maybe make things work. With it being the holiday weekend, and my work schedule, it would probably be too late by mid week to get a queen. I will have to make a phone call to see. It might be a pointless venture with so few bees to work with. Time will tell. Enjoy the day.
