Allow hive to raise own queen
3
Allowing a queenless hive to raise its own queen is a natural method of requeening, but it relies on the presence of young larvae in the hive. If the queenless hive has eggs or young larvae from a previous queen, the worker bees can select a young larva and rear it into a new queen. This process is not always successful and depends on colony strength and resources. Monitoring for successful queen rearing is essential. This method is a 'none' type solution as it relies on the bees' natural behavior and does not require purchasing a queen. No specific equipment is solely needed for this method beyond standard hive inspection tools. However, success is not guaranteed, and it requires careful observation.
