NewBee Question – I hived a 3# package in a top bar on Sunday (5/26) – checked on things yesterday (5/29) and unfortunately I broke off most of the comb they had built on one bar (only contained a few small pollen deposits) and queen was still in cage – candy plug appeared mostly eaten. I guess 3 days was too early to check. I removed the broken comb. How long do I wait before I intervene again and check on and free the queen if she is still trapped?
