On 6/29/2019 I had lots of unsealed swarm cells in my hives.
I removed the queen and a couple frames of brood and started a num.
Today 7/14/2019 I observed a large queen walking around on the landing board, there were about a dozen workers on the landing board also.
The workers ignored the queen as she walked about.
After a few minutes the queen walked into the hive.
Isn't this to soon to have a fully developed queen (she was big)?
Why did the workers ignore her?
Why was she out there in the first place?
