Toaday was a warm day in the 70's so i decided to check a few hives. One hive that is in question has stored 90% of the brood chamber in Honey. Three weeks ago brood was present and I found the queen. Today I found all the stored honey, could not locate the queen. I have keep bees in the deep south for many years, have never seen this before. Should I combine the hive with another? Polulation seems strong. Will look for queen again in a few days. We have had a cold snap thats has lasted two weeks. Not normal to have several days in the freezing range here at night. Just odd being my others hives still have brood in the center clusters. Any thoughts or ideas would be great. This hive has been weak all summer, Queen was new but not very aggresive layer. Also this is the only hive I have plastic cell in. Have had no luck at all with it. THANKS EVERYONE, MERRY CHRISTMAS......
