ABSTRACT:
Method and system for introducing a second queen into an established colony of honey bees for additional buildup of the worker bee force prior to the early honey flow, and for the eventual replacement of the resident queen. The established brood is divided into two divisions and placed in separate brood chambers positioned side by side with the resident queen in one division and an introduced queen in the other division. A hive chamber containing drawn comb or comb foundation is placed over each of the chambers containing brood to provide space for brood expansion. Worker bees can move vertically and diagonally among the hive chambers. The two queen bees can move either vertically or diagonally between two hive chambers in a manner which prevents direct contact between them during the brood buildup.
