I have not re queened any of my hives for several years. I noticed that this summer one of my hives was a very hot hive & I assume that is because of the queen, When is a good time to Re-queen? Or should I even do so??

Not sure for your area, the fall is when some do it.

About a month ago would have been a good time.  First thing in the spring when you can get a queen before they get strong would be a good time.

If you have a hot hive, you SHOULD do so:
