I don’t try to ‘fix’ a hive when it goes queenless/laying worker. For the amount of resources and the prospect of failure, I’d rather use those resources somewhere more useful. It’s just my way. This is how I shake out a queenless, laying worker hive.

I have to shake out one of my hives. This video really helped with a lot of my questions. Thanks

I'm glad it helped!

Looks like you started a gang war..lol.

Yet for all the rukus I walked amongst them with lots of exposed skin and didn’t get a single sting. Instead of triggering a defensive response, I think that shaking them out like I do only causes a great deal of confusion. Which is what we are seeing.
