Have a nuc that is queenless. Introduced a new queen into it on Sunday. Wednesday when I checked and surprise surprise the queen and attendants were dead in the cage. Why would a queen less colony kill off a new queen? Don’t make sense to me. Might be a laying worker but she ain’t laying much. Went through the nuc today and saw 1 egg and about 6 larvae. Any suggestions? Although now I will unite that nuc.
