New queen must not have mated properly. She is laying in good pattern but the only cells sealed are Drone brood. Very very few workers.
New Queen cells have started. Bees obviously know there’s a problem with her
My question is .....
If this is supersedure , will the DL Queen fly off with a swarm? Or will she remain in the hive until a new Queen emerges?
I mean, what’s the point in her flying off if she’s not mated/ laying properly? Surely she won’t coax any bees to go with her if they know she won’t be able to keep a swarmed colony going?
Would I need to take action... or will they just supersede her without any problems??
