Using Queen cells put in the day of hatch this year we got right at 85% "old queen" replacement.  The cells were put in above the brood nest and did a very good job of hunting down and dispatching the old queens.

Only about 5% went queenless so about 10% of the time the old queen won the battle.   Sample size was 350 queen cells.
