Ok, I'm terribly afraid this is going to come accross as a totally stupid question, but I can't seem to logically work it out in my mind, so I'm reaching out for help on this...
If I were to purchase a package of bees that I wanted regressed, I would put them on 4.9mm foundation. After they drew it out, I would replace the foundation again, to get foundation actually drawn at the 4.9mm cell size. Now, I have a nice, regressed hive. What if I choose to re-queen? If I purchase a new queen, do I have to "re-regress" Or will she just lay on the small cells and life will process as normal?
Thanks in advance for your insight!
