When is too late to requeen? I've seen a couple of wonky supercedure cells but the original queen still reigns supreme. Afraid I'm going to be behind the 8 ball soon.
HELP PLEASE!
You have no problems! Let they alone for two weeks. Don`t open the hive in this 2 w. You will have a new queen and she need quiet for mate and start to laying. For a time, will be 2 queens :shock: in your hive.
After this time, add new frame or comb and give 100 ml syrup 1/1 sugar-water, daily in the evening. In first days of September feed for wintering.
BTW Requeening means: out old queen and get a new mate queen. Now you don`t requeen! The bees do it! Let they to do this job, because they are professional.
I tell you a little secret. Put a half little onion in juice maker and add juice - a tea spoon- in 1 liter syrup.
