Shake out bees and requeen

3

Shaking out bees and requeening is a more drastic method for addressing a drone laying queen. It involves shaking all bees out of the hive with the drone laying queen, destroying the drone comb (combs with drone brood), and then requeening the hive with a new mated queen into clean or disinfected equipment. This method is more labor-intensive but can be effective in ensuring a complete reset and preventing recurrence of drone laying queen issues. It is a DIY approach and requires extra hive equipment to provide clean comb for the new queen. A queen cage and hive tool are essential, along with extra hive equipment to replace the drone comb.
