On july 24 I split my hive.
on july 28 I removed all the supersedure cells.
on july 29 I introduced a new queen using the push in cage method.
Today I released the queen, she looked good and there were more then a few attendants feeding her.
When I was checking the rest of the hive, after i let the queen go, I noticed that the bees had made more supersedure cells and there were some capped. I removed all of the new cells.
Did they start making their own queen because the new queen wasn't loose yet?
Will they stop making supersedure cells now that the new queen is loose?
