I don't know why they did windows...bees don't like light, so maybe they can close them...dunno I might retro one super to see how they work. The frames are the revolutionary part

All honey bees here are European . No native bees here...."white mans fly" There are several varieties . Some make smaller cells. Feral bees are just wild euro bees.

no wax moths or hive beetle yet? Salvage the comb if you can....you can freeze it for a couple of days then seal it up

if there is no brood....she is definitly gone....that sucks cause if there are no eggs less then three days old they cannot re-queen themselves. I had one hive do that....I united them with another hive. you have one hive Leon?
