Jim, It is true I am interested in diverse genetics, the bees and the money I get paid from the cut outs. I obviously jumped the gun ordering queens because I am inexperienced and believed their success rate of raising a new queen, getting her mated and safely returning from her mating flight was less than if I bought queens. I realize that the genetic line would be altered by the introduction of new queens. My problem/concern was the best way to proceed *now* with what I have 2 new queens, 6 queen cells and 8 frames of comb(brood n stores) Thanks for your input.
