I am going through a hive that is marked to have something wrong with it. It is a very well populated, unhappy, and loud hive. I determined that it was hopelessly queenless and try to fix it with a previously captured queen right swarm. I then move a nucleus split that I have made a few days earlier where this swarm was sitting to capture the returning field bees. As I go through this nuc I find that the bees rejected the queen cells and had chewed into them killing the growing queens. So, it will have to be combined with another hive since I do not have access to any queens.
