Hi all. I split my queen into a nuc 2 weeks ago and went in a week ago to remove all but 1 queen cell. I failed. The weather was poor and i rushed. I went to check for an emerged queen today and found one. Heard her before I opened the hive actually. But i also found the sealed queen cell that i had previoulsy identified. Not knowing what was for the best I removed the queen cell intact, left the virgin queen and closed up the hive without checking anything else.
Back at the house curiosity got the better of me and i peeled open the cell and the queen emerged. Have her in my wax bucket and she's also piping away.
I assume I have to do away with one? The easiest being the one infront of me and not the one in the hive.
