Did Blue Hive Raise a New Queen After Swarming? And Do I Really Have Sacbrood?

Blue Hive swarmed, and I was able to catch the swarm and place it into a nuc. In this inspection (6/14/26), I'm checking whether the parent hive successfully raised a new queen and whether she's laying yet. I also return the green drone frame to Pink Hive after removing it for closer inspection. While inspecting, I discuss why I initially suspected sacbrood virus, what symptoms I observed, and why I'm no longer convinced that's what I'm dealing with. Whether you're a first-year beekeeper or have kept bees for years, follow along as I work through these hive inspections and share what I'm seeing in real time. Thanks for watching!
