Re: Help Queen is gone

Bought a queen today. Went to put her in the hive and the new queen has emerged. What should I do? Put the new queen in anyway?

Help Queen is gone

Checked hives today. Both have very little honey. No larvae or eggs in one hive. There is a queen cell about midway on one of the frames. Should I requeen or let the queen cell develop? Also should I put the top feeders back on? Thanks

Damaged Foundation

Packages in for 4 days. Checked and queen has been released. IN one of the hives I tore a queen sized hole in the foundation when removing it. I put the frame back where it was. When should I go back in to check for eggs and do I need to do anything to the damaged foundation?
