It’s the braindead female bees and “female” tranny bees paid by George Soro’s who are overthrowing the Queens. Soro’s “No Queens” Riot Union.

Maybe marking the queen bee with a dot for research plays into the process for getting rid of her.

So when the queen gets PMS she is replaced.

This sounds like another unfortunate result of Global Warming.

Oops! I meant Climate Change. I think that’s the latest name for Al’s scam.

Buncha angry broads, and the queen’s the only one getting any action.

This seems like a bad idea. (I’m not a beekeeper but plan to give it a shot when I retire, so I’ve read a lot).

If the workers detect that the queen isn’t laying enough eggs they decide to replace her. AS THEY SHOULD. It’s about colony and gene survival at that point. (The avg lifespan of the worker bee is only 6 weeks!). If you spray this pheromone to trick the workers into thinking the queen is OK, that could lead to her not laying ANY eggs, and giving the workers no time to work on a new queen, leading to colony failure.

That’s what I understood from reading this post, any beekeepers get something else and can correct me?

Inspecting a hive and finding supersedure cells can place a beekeeper in a difficult position. I may leave one or two and continue to monitor the colony, but bees are meticulous and will build supersedure cells even in strong, healthy hives. Removing all of them risks leaving the colony without a queen if the current one fails.

It is more important to focus on swarm cells and manage the hive based on their presence. Once a swarm cell is built, the colony has usually made its decision.

Leave at least one supersedure cell and remove the swarm cells.
