I was suspicious that I had a drone laying queen on last inspection. Anyhow, upon going into the hive today to split it into 3 in preparation for new queens arriving on Wednesday week, she's definitely 'turned' - drone brood everywhere...nicely laid up on the whole too. Thankfully there are lots of worker bees.
Should I cut out as much drone brood as is reasonable in advance of the new queen next week? This probably amounts to around 2 frames worth from a 6 frame nuc.
Many thanks.
