Could one help me with an explanation for this...

Dear all,
One of my hives I considered problematic because I did not see BRIAS for weeks. Some Queencells were built and I expected the old Q to be succeeded. During my last inspection I've found this and, the old Q still walking around.
My question now is, what happened here? laying worker? old Queen loosing it?

 

[Erichalfbee]

Maybe a new supersedure queen?
How many cells are laid up?
I’d wait a week and see what happens.

the old Q still walking around.

You sure it was the old queen?

 

[The Poot]

Is it the old queen, or as Dani suggests one newly laying?

 

[enrico]

Workers will sort it out. New queen's often take a while to learn one in each hole!

 

[Bije[n]buur]

Maybe a new supersedure queen? ok, so a princess out of one of the supersedure cells?.
How many cells are laid up? just a hand full
I’d wait a week and see what happens.

OK

You sure it was the old queen?

yes, she is / was numbered

 

[Bije[n]buur]

I can't say. shall I put the old Q between two excluders? (if I can find the new one)

No. Leave well alone.

 

[Bije[n]buur]

No. Leave well alone.

ok. will do.
