Queen Question?
« on: March 06, 2012, 09:43:34 pm »
Can a hive make its own queen if none there? As you can tell I am a rookie and trying to learn :roll:
Thx for any responses!  :)

The fear of the Lord is clean,enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea ,than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

If you have a frame with some eggs in it they have a good chance of creating a new queen.

you would need a frame of very young larvae and eggs and a good number of bees.

If they have an egg or larvae under four days old, yes.
