Bob H and Peter B both stated in previous post that if queen cells were
already present that there were at least times that the hive would "honor"
the cells already made. Peter then stated that sometimes bees would hold
queens in their cells for some period of time.
I think this is fascinating and didnt know of it.
Is it common?Do the queens die in the cells? etc
More info on this would be appreciated as I have never personally observed
it.
this isnt a challenge, simply a desire to become a more informed beekeeper.
Thanks to you both,

Aaron, I also am thankful for this forum. and although we have had some
minor disagreements I have also told you privately that I appreciate what
you do.
I dont follow some of the threads too closely because I find out that if I
get too caught up in them I will catch myself walking across the yard
mumbling incoherently :)
