Title: Queen Question?
Post by: blanc on March 06, 2012, 09:43:34 PM
Can a hive make its own queen if none there? As you can tell I am a rookie and trying to learn :roll:
Thx for any responses!  :)

If you have a frame with some eggs in it they have a good chance of creating a new queen.

you would need a frame of very young larvae and eggs and a good number of bees.

If they have an egg or larvae under four days old, yes.
