I have a couple of 2 and 3 year old queens. They are feral-ish bees though.

James I had a lot of that last year, what I thought was a perfectly good queen got superceded over and over. It is one of the mysteries I would love to hear more feed back on. 35 years ago, a good queen would last for 3 or 4 years most of the time. What is happening? What has changed?

The Beeweavers have really taken off. One hive has 2 full frames of capped brood since I installed the package 2 weeks ago (they had drawn comb from a starved out hive). The other is queenless(!) but there are a ton of queen cells, so the girls are already on top of it. Not sure what happened to the queen- maybe they balled her, although she layed plenty before she died.
