Last week I found one colony with queen cells and a number of colonies with drones, whereas I would normally have united the colony with cells the warm weather encouraged me to leave them for a week and see what happened.
Today i checked again and we have a laying queen, good looking girl but no way of knowing yet, if she has mated properly but she is looking good so far.
If she produces viable brood that would be the latest I have seen a queen mated in 23 years
