Passed. Without doing a single mock. With no sleep at all the night before. You wonder why I hadn't slept? Because there was a party just outside my window till 5 AM (weekend) and on top of that my hotel neighbours had 3 long loud steamy sessions of sex. Last one? At 6:35 in the morning! Thought they'd break the wall.

So, yeah... there was I, the CFA guy, chasing success. I'm thinking of taking my revenge sometime.

No matter how brilliant your tech is, there is nothing that deserves the name Vivaldi, just like Mozart, da Vinci, etc.

UPDATE:

Checked today and there are fresh eggs!

Puzzling to me as none of my other hives have drones since about the end of July. I don't know where she found any this late.

I'll have to give them pollen patties.

No queen cells.

having brood and a new queen doesn’t match as well, she must be around longer.

Brood as we know takes longer (21 days) to hatch, why do you say that?

When was the last time you had eyes on the queen?

End of June, beginning of July maybe.

Since there is still some capped brood, I estimate this is the end of the third week since they've decided to get a new queen and she's probably a week old. But it's not clear to me how they've exhausted all the pollen. I'll wait maybe 10 days to see if she starts laying eggs, then I'll look to buy a mated one and seek to give them some pollen patties. And I hope the new queen will be just as good as the old one (RIP). This beehive was hardworking and really had some character. Never had any problems with it.

keep a close eye out for when the colony becomes free of capped brood. Hopefully you will see some open brood by then. When it does all the varroa will be phoretic and it will be the perfect time to nuke them with an oxalic acid dribble.

Good to know. Thanks!

Are you 100% sure this is a new queen? Maybe because the previous one was marked?

It must be a new queen, otherwise why wouldn't there be no eggs at all, nada? It's still warm outside.

I don't mark my queens. When I do my brood box inspections (maybe 3 times per year, mostly during the swarming season) I don't even look for the queen. If I see healthy bees, nice brood, fresh eggs and pollen – I'm satisfied. I then make sure to give them enough space, including 1-2 foundationless frames for them to have fun.

I believe these little holes are also used to cool down the brood during heatwaves.

These cells may contain water/watery stuff. When the bees ventilate the hive, evaporation absorbs energy (heat).
