I have a one year old Buckfast queen in my Garden hive. Upon inspection today I found numerous queen cells so have started an AS.
Now, I've heard that second generation Buckfasts can be rather feisty and my current queen is laying very well. My question is should I replace my queen and hope the new queen is as lovely and quiet as the original or should I stick with my current queen??
What are your experiences with second generation Buckfasts?
