On of my colonies that I examined today had produced 1 single charged queen cell, so I presume they are trying to supercede.
However I know in swarming season they can sometimes swarm once "supercedure" cells are sealed.
So.... Is there a way of stopping this happening, apart from some form of A/S?
I was wondering if confining the queen in a frame cage would work? Maybe they would swarm with the emerged virgin?
