New Bee
Today I found 2 queens in one of my hives, and I am not sure whether I should remove one, or just let them get on with it.
This was a queen I purchased and introduced to a queenless hive. I had assumed they had rejected her, as they started building QCs from her first brood, plus I couldn't find eggs. But today I saw she was still alive and well, along with the new queen they raised.
Should I remove the old one, or just leave them both in there? I figured they might do eachother damage if I left them both in. I thought other people might have experience with this.
