Thank you wolfer. I thought there wouldn't be an issue, just wanted to confirm before potentially loosing a new queen.
I have deep boxes segmented in 4x2 queen castles, so all I'll need to do is pull the partition. I have noticed the bees from queenless sections walking into the queenright sections without fighting when i pull the cover, while the bees in adjoining queenright sections don't seem to migrate much. They stay on their side. ;-)
The good thing is the bees in each deep box queen castles are all from the same mother hive. I pulled 4 frames of solid capped brood and added a ripe queen cell to make each section. So perhaps since the bees are akin they are even more willing to unite. The mother hives will take a hit in a few weeks but atleast they didn't swarm. 1 hive becomes 5.
