Hi all,
I just found what appears to be a new queen stuck in some thick 2 to 1
sugar water that I left on my hive stand,which is a large lobster crate.At
this point I haven`t seen any drones,so I have to assume that it hasn`t
bred yet.
My question is should I let it go free wondering if it might kill the old
queen,or just let it die in the queen cage that I put it in?
The queen in the hive I think is 3 years old,but still seems to be doing a
good job.
I would think that if the bees were going to produce a queen,that they
would also produce some drones.This is all a little early for this to
happen being on the coast of Maine the weather hasn`t been all that warm yet.
This is a new one for me,so I really can`t quite figure it out.
Thanks for any ideas.
Wayne Young
