When requeening or on the new side of a split with a added new queen are you ever worried about the bees building a supercedure cells? Thank's, Brad
If the only dog you can here in the hunt is yours, your probaly missing the best part of the chase.

Many purchased queens (especially those that come with packages) do get superseded.  It slows the hive down a bit but it's not a disaster.  The bees will take care of it. 

Supersedure is really only a big issue for people who think commercial queens are superior to open-mated queens.

Just purchased and installed some sunkists and a queen from Tabers and want to see how they preform, especially since I'm trying to eliminate the breed (russians) that are in the hives now. How often should I inspect for supercedure cells as I of course installed frames of brood with each split. Thank's, Brad
