New Bee
I have my oldest colony in a long hive that I built a few years ago. The bees seem to love the long hive and have superceded a couple of times. I have never re-queened this particular colony, I just let them decide.
On May 14th I noticed that there were two queens in residence, and assumed the older, marked queen would peg it in a week or so, leaving her daughter to take over.
I checked yesterday and both queens are still in residence, on adjacent frames. The colony is doing well and they are calm, happy bees.
Has anyone else experienced this?
