> Don't waste your queen on a futile effort to requeen the laying

 Like most ,I consider a laying worker hive an aberration of
nature,totally without merit.However,if during swarm season,you know of a
laying worker hive or two in the yard,you can grab a few swarm cells and
stick in them.Most of them will come up with a queen and can build back up
before fall.Later in the season its best to just shake them out and put the
hive into storage.But throwing in swarm cells or even virgins will often do
the trick.As for trying to save them with a mated queen,better to just mash
her between your fingers and save yourself some labor,the odds are that
bad.
