I have heard of a hive having two queens, one mother and one daughter. But I have a italain hive that I requeened with a carnolian. The carnolian was accepted and laying and yesterday I checked the hive for the second time. I found the carnolian queen and on the same side of the same frame another italian queen was along side of the carnolian, both inspecting empty cells and laying. Is this uncommon, I have always been told that most queens will fight and or kill the other queen. I am interested in hearing from others if you have seen this happen.
