My 1 of 18 colonies that seemed to want smoke for handling got slightly touchy for a couple weeks. Then their production fell off. Suspecting queen trouble, I tore them apart for a look. Found mother and daughter laying on adjacent frames. Their mood has returned to tranquil as in the past, and I'm hoping to dispense with lighting the smoker. Another colony, the one that despises smoke, also had two queens last week, but did not get touchy. I had never seen mother and daughter together, and now have seen two cases in a week. Both new queens came from huge supersedure cells and are very long and beautiful. Bees will be bees! Bill Morong
