Title basically says it all. I’m nervous as all get out over my new daughter coming and my wife’s repeat c section. I think I am allowed to stay with her in the OR but I am not sure. I won’t find out till tomorrow but that doesn’t help me get through today.
So I posted a few days ago about a nuc I received from Mann Lake. The queen was absent and there were no eggs. Well my bees made three capped emergency queen cells. Mann Lake also decided to mail me a hygienic queen (the nuc I bought was VSH) that should be here Tuesday.
What do I do about the queen cells? Do I check the hive and see if they have hatched before I put the mail in Queen in? Do I even try to use the mated mailed queen or will they just kill her?
I can give her to a friend for a split and save her if they’re just gonna kill her. Or is it better if I try to track down the existing queen and kill her in favor of the one they are mailing me?
I’m in KY 6B.
