The queen is gone

I have only been checking the TBH by looking threw the observation window. I opened the hive today and checked and my fear is right, no queen. I need to look in my trees and see if I can find the swarm, if not I will be using this hive to make a split. I should have gotten the right size hardware cloth and put it over the entrance to keep her in. I still say something wasn't right from the beginning w/ this hive, but I'm unsure what.

I have some lemon balm that really is strong. Maybe I will rub that inside the hive and see if I can catch a swarm.

Live and learn!
