Hi All, I intend to give two of my hives new bought mated queens as soon the queens come available. My idea is to give my 6 hives a new queen every year.
I will have to kill or make use of the existing queens so I would like to know, when l get rid of the old queen, how long do l wait until l introduce the new queen. The general idea is to have better swarm control.
