Hi. I had coffee this morning with two elderly beekeepers, this is always a mistake - 1, as I always end up paying for the coffee, and 2 they both like to help me with advice. This ALWAYS conflicts. Mentioned my 2 queens were two years old and I felt I should do something about it. Would like to know what the forum members would reccommend. Shall I just leave the hives alone, make sure there is plenty of space for laying and storage, and leave well alone. The bees wll sort everything out for themselves, and produce a new queen sometime soon, if needed. OR should I do something else ? I do not want to buy in new queens. Both hives are busy and healthy -both queens are alive and laying. Unfortunatly at this moment in time I am short of time, space and money. All advice very welcome what would you consider my easiest option.
