My opinion on supersedure queens is as such, in a queen loss the bees
select lava of varying ages some too old to be a good queen over 3 days
old this queen emerges first then cuts all the good queens leaving a
inferior queen to head the hive. Without beekeeper intervention that
queen will not be as good as a swarm raised queen. As for selecting
swarming traits you would have to do so for 25 or more years
to see any differences in that trait.
