I had posted a thread about the size of the attatched queencell, seemed small to me. Anyway, It hatched and I hadnt seen any sign of her. Of course I am always early expecting her back.(First years letting them raise their own). I gave the hive a frame of eggs/larvae of all ages. They didnt pull any cells so I suspected she was in there, virgin or newly mated. Sure enough I went in there today and there she was, laying a great egg pattern. The only problem was I also saw 3 q cups, with young larvae and rj in them. I noticed she has a problem with one of her wings. It doesnt lay flat on her back, kind of sticks out to the side. Am assuming that is why they want to superscede. My question is, now that shes back, and apparently laying a good pattern, would you tear down the cells? If I do are they just going to build them back? Once they make up their mind is it a done deal? With her laying a good pattern I would much rather let her build the hive instead of dealing with another brood break. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks in advance. G :chop:
