Two Queens ?

[papa_sierra]

Caught a swarm and rehoused in a 6 frame poly nuc. 20 days later moved into a hive and noted three frames of brood capped and uncapped and stores. There were opened queen cells on one frame and scuttling out of sight I noted two queens. Now one must be laying so how do I decide which one ?

I'd just leave them to it. Unless you are desperate to split into 2 Sounds like they may be superceding..

Or cage one and see if the laying has stopped in half a weeks time

They may work together for a while. Two queens is less rare than most think
