The hive is definitely not queenright. They reared 15 queen cells from
their own eggs, all of which I removed, and even a week after the failed
rearing, checking the hive daily (it is a nucleus box, only 5 frames, hence
easy to check) there are still no eggs. I have requeened with a capensis
queen in cage with capensis workers today. She is a virgin queen. hope
this works.
