Queen hatch

[SixFooter]

I set up a queenless nuc for queen rearing and put a miller frame in from my favourite colony. The bees raised 4 queen cells. However, I didnt move them to mating nucs on time. I went to do it today, but one of the queens had emerged. Not so the other Qs, but they are alive inside the cells. I thought the first Q to emerge would kill all the others. Also, I suppose there is no point putting more eggs in as they now have a Queen somewhere. Might be a bit late now anyway.

If you have drones then its not to late, you will have to find the virgin and make them q/less before adding more frames though, there is a word doc on here for q/rearing records and timings

Too late? It is still only july! Lots of queens will be superceded yet, for instance.
