Hi Everyone,
One of my packages I hived on April 13th, turned into a drone hive. There wer about 3 frames with nothing but drone on them. I put in a supercedure cell from another hive on May 11th. On May 24th I saw the queen and most of the drone brood had hatched out. I only saw a hand-sized section of regular brood on one frame. I did see two supercedure cells. Should I allow this hive to produce another queen or give this new queen a longer time period to get used to her job?
