I have heard of a hive having two queens, one mother and one daughter.
But I have a italain hive that I requeened with a carnolian. The carnolian
was accepted and laying and yesterday I checked the hive for the second
time. I found the carnolian queen and on the same side of the same frame
another italian queen was along side of the carnolian, both inspecting
empty cells and laying. Is this uncommon, I have always been told that
most queens will fight and or kill the other queen. I am interested in
hearing from others if you have seen this happen.
