OK, I don't know how to handle this. I installed my two nucs in a quick dash home over a break in the work day. I carefully examined each frame and by golly I saw the queen in both new hives - This is amazing since I never saw either queen all of last year. The disadvantage is that the queen in one nuc is a large woman clearly marked in yellow. The queen in the second more vigorous boiling over with bees nuc is a small woman with a white dot on her back -
I called and left a message for the beekeeper who sold them to me that I had one queen who was from last year, but didn't suggest what he/I should do at this point.
What would you do? I was supposedly getting two nucs with this year's queen and she is last year's queen???
