Queen advice following split

[Hux70]

So I split a packed hive a week ago leaving just a sealed QC in the original hive(or so I thought) checked it again today to see if any more had been made and found 5 more so selected the best looking 1 and removed the rest only to find after a few minutes of being removed the original QC I'd left in starting to emerge. I put the QC on top of the frames where she was swamped with bees. After 5min she'd emerged and gone down into the hive.
So. Do I go back in tomorrow and remove the QC I'd selected to leave and hope that the new Q has been accepted....or leave them to it

I would let them do the deed!

That must have been interesting to watch
I‘d leave them to it too.

So, what stage is the other queen cell you left in at?

 

[Hux70]

The cell I left in is sealed but I dont know what stage it was at when I missed it last sunday.

It's toast by now.

If they protect the sealed cell then likely a swarm with the VQ will emerge, may well depend on large the colony still is.
Might be worth a quick peek at that cell to see if it is good still or not.
