>When I learned about beekeeping at NCSU under Dr. Tarpy and Dr. Ambrose, I
was told a replacement supersedure queen would hatch, mate, and often begin
laying side by side with the old queen.

That is correct - seen it many times - but we were not talking about natural supersedure; we were talking about re-queening by introducing an unrelated virgin, either directly or by using a queen cell.

Best wishes
