It seems to me no one can actually answer the question. How do you make a laying worker colony QR?

I answered to you, but it does not suit to you.
I have requeened so many laying worker hives that I do not know.
There is no problem in that. 45 years ago I shaked my first and last hive into grass.
Some hive takes at once the new queen and the anotjher one may resist.
The last case was that the hives resisted requeening and I joined them to the swarm.
The former case was that I gove the new queen on the comb and workers were happy.
Workers layer hive has usually very old workers and not long living. It is better put them into work for their last weeks and joining to some another hive is a good result. No need to requeen it.
