[QUOTE="John B, post: 10163, member: 207"] I suspect a lot of the problems with poor queens are related to drone problems. Some people attributed drone problems to the affects of chemicals found in the varroa treatments and others to the affect of varroa and the viruses they carry. I don't really know what the answer is but I have seen some beautiful new Queen's laying out really well and yet there are supersedure cells. It would be interesting to have an autopsy or whatever you call an autopsy on a dead bee performed on some of these queens to see how much sperm they contained in how viable it was and also what sort of a virus loading the Queen was carrying.
