I recently did a split on two hives to make a new one, but the queen that I introduced into the split died.
This hive will be queenless for about one week untill I can get a new queen. I have heard that queenless hives
will develope laying workers, if queenless for more than a few days. Will this cause any problems when my new
queen arrives and I try to introduce her into the split? Also after the new queen is accepted by the hive will
the laying workers stop laying?
