Thanks for all the good comments. I think if they need a queen, they can make one. I'm hoping for the "national average" honey crop this year
-about 40 lbs. I'll split afterward and feed feed feed. They will have the rest of the year to get ready for next winter.
As long as their disposition remains good...they have a good queen. Maybe I can get away with checking/smoking them every two weeks instead of every week like last year.
