I have 2 hives with Hawaian queens. They came with the packages late April. Hawaian queens do not overwinter as well as northern bred queens. I disposed of them and am introducing new ones,from up here, into the hives. Will these new queens start laying if the find open foundation?
Or do they wait untill all the old brood has emerged? What's your take on this?
