Hi All,

If the”old queen”or let’s say if one of the queen  is clipped is no problem.
I keep spare queens(clipped young mated queens) this way let’s call this
“queens bank”. I’m a hobbist beekeeper so I don’t have an exlanation for
this. Perhaps Dr. Shiminuki is right” genetics from years of breeding for
certain traits had produced those traits”



There is a methode developed by the romanian Adrian Huica for hive with 2,3
or more queens. If you are interested I’ll tell you about this.
