On Saturday I checked my hives and in one of my cells my queen had been replaced and I did not even know it. The queens I bought were marked but this was not and was of a much darker color. Is this normal and is it something I should be concerned about with my hive. This is in my stronger hive.
The bees know best.
packages = supercedure usually ;-)

Is this normal and is it something I should be concerned about with my hive? Not now(lol)
Yeah I should not be worried. It is a very docile hive and the stronger of the two.
She also has a better chance of making it through the winter because her father is probably a local.
