It has been 20 years since I had hives, and now it is time to get back into beekeeping to get my teenagers involved.
I recently picked up some nucs, and I have a poor performing queen. Several queen cells and many drone brood. No recent eggs.
I plan on re-queening the hive. After killing the current queen, is it three days before I should place the new queen (with in the cage) in the hive?
Thanks
