IO do have but one - just started last spring and was so pleased to see them buzzing hapily last week, then so disappointed when I opened it up and saw drone only laying (I had an expert with me - that wasn't my judgement).

I am new to the forum. Just opened my hive to find my queen is a drone layer. The colony is strong. Does anyone know if it's possible to get a mated queen (possibly last years) so early in the season? Please....
