The swarm in the box near the aconites did decide to make some queen cells on the frame with the WBC eggs that I introduced. I removed three queen cells and left them one.
Little Lauren has been laying well and building up nicely so I thought some of her bees could bring up one of the WBC queen cells from the aconite swarm. I moved LL to the middle hive in thorpe where she can stay now.
There were a couple of nuc boxes that I thought hadn't produced a laying queen but it turns out that they are just a little late in getting mated.
