The hive is definitely not queenright. They reared 15 queen cells from their own eggs, all of which I removed, and even a week after the failed rearing, checking the hive daily (it is a nucleus box, only 5 frames, hence easy to check) there are still no eggs. I have requeened with a capensis queen in cage with capensis workers today. She is a virgin queen. hope this works. Bob said > My guess is the hive is queenright.
