- Possibly...5 and a bit...depends on the bees.
I seem to reading about a lot of superceedures this summer. Having been experiencing this myself...I was reading more about it. Last year I heard about it happening in the late summer and early autumn but it seems earlier this year...or perhaps that is just that it seems like it.
Would this be caused by poor mating season in the spring?
And would superceedure queens be less desirable if they come from poorly mated queens? Would it affect the future of the bees in any way?
