><Should I leave the cells and allow the hive to re- queen themselves? Or
><should I destroy all the cells and see if the existing queen improves ?
 
Greg;
 
I had the same thing happen last year and my beekeeping mentor told me
that cells in the middle of the frame are supercedure cells and that the
bees know best about whether the existing queen is a dud.  I suggest
leaving things alone and check to see when the new queens hatch then it
will take 1-3 (depending on good weather for mating flight) weeks till
she mates and starts laying again.
 
Hope everything goes well
