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.
