Hi, friends,
for those who have more colonies:
1. Add a comb containing open young brood together with adhering bees
to the treated colony. (The brood pheromones will turn the laying
workers back to the normal ones.)
2. The week later destroy eventually constructed queen cells, add another
comb with the youngest brood and bees and let the colony to raise a new
queen. After she has established brood nest and many young bees emerged
you can eventually change it for a genetically more valuable one.
