I have a couple hives I load down with drone brood removed from hives I feel produce exceptional bees.
I try to keep a caged virgin in these hives which encourages them to accept and care for an excess population of drones and drone brood.
Sometimes she last days sometimes weeks.
Would 2 or more separately caged virgins work just as well?
