I have a few colonies that swarmed earlier this summer. Yesterday, i found
that three of them have only drone brood. I must have been lucky, because
this never happened to me before (five years of beekeeping), but i was kinda
happy anyway, because i get to learn something new.

So i wonder, Tim or anyone else, will a colony like this make queens if they
get a frame of eggs or larvae in the right age from a colony that is
queenright?
