Beekeepers of Nostr
My old Queen is definitely getting towards the end of her productivity. Lots of scattered and patch brood but she’s putting up a valiant last effort.
The hive now has a single superseder queen cell and I think she’ll hatch any day. I’m not expecting the old queen to swam as the hive isn’t strong enough.
They are a very chill hive and I figure the new queen may have a similar temperament. So the questions I have are:
Do I leave them to requeen themselves?
Should I pinch the old queen before the new one hatches?
Should I organise to requeen them myself?
I figured that I can always replace the new queen if the hive gets rowdy.
