Uniting

[Beedogg]

I have a colony that had a rather unsuccessful queen (seemed to have very tattered wings, perhaps poorly mated and very slow/patchy laying) and now seems to be Q-. I have united it through newspaper with a strong Q+ colony (a captured swarm).
Whilst I'm confident that the original marked queen in the Q- colony has disappeared, there was also an emerged QC there but I could find no VQ. If there is a VQ in that colony what is the likely outcome following that unite?

It’s quite likely that it’s the virgin queen who will survive. Did you not offer a test frame first?

I would never unite without ensuring one hive was queenless, having actually killed or removed the queen, and/ or putting in a test frame. I cannot be sure which of two queens in the one hive would be the survivor
