Do you MARK your queen?  If not, your present queen is probably a daughter of
your previous queen, and whoever she bred to may have a nasty temperament.
Very elementary bee genetics: the worker bee's temperament is determined by
her parents.
I suggest you requeen, and surely with a marked queen.  If you cannot mark
yourself, a queen breeder usually charges 50 cents to do it.
