There is a lot of information on this topic in the archives. But the
short answer is no. The coloney thinks it has a queen. Are you sure you
have laying workers and not just a drone laying queen? If you are going
to try and salvage this colony you will need to add brood from another
colony. Both capped and open brood will help in salvaging the bees.
Check the archives for further information.
