I had my first experience with a really aggressive hive yesterday while I was robbing it. While I was in there I was lucky enough to see the queen and I promptly squished her. This is a hive I re-queened in mid-April with a queen who was bred in Louisiana. My question is what are the chances the next generation queen will be less aggressive? Or would it be better to give this hive a week, cut out all of the queen cells and then re-queen?
BTW - This queen walked across a medium and a shallow full of honey to lay worker brood in the top box above those. I found her in the intermediate full of honey which I thought was strange.
Thanks for the insights.
