A neighbor kid decided to kick one of my "urban" hives over today. I got a frantic call from my daughter that my son had gotten stung so many times that mom took him to the hospital. Turned out he'd suited up to put the hive back together but got about 10 hits and was fine, and was particulaly annoyed that mom panicked and dragged him into the emergency room. No one else got stung, and the hive was back together when I got home. The outer cover is broken but I won't be able to tell how much other damage was done or if the queen got killed until they settle down. They're bearding up on the outside of the hive tonight and I expect it will get down to the 40's.
The question is if the queen died is it too late to requeen?
