> I recall Dee Lusby saying she does that.
My recollection is that Dee Lusby advocated re-queening by running a virgin in with plenty of smoke.
I tried this with a 10 hive apiary, but only one queen was replaced. All the rest were fine at the next inspection with no sign of the virgins.
Best wishes
