One may consider Re queening during a honey flow that will end in a couple
of weeks, say in June, that way, the queen will be accepted, the old brood
emerged and the new queen production will have a several week delay.
The advantage of this system might be that it would allow less field bees to
be produced, and requiring food during the nectar dearth.
When the new brood reaches field age, hopefully the nectar would be back.
Just some ideas for discussion.
