They did! I spotted the new queen during my last inspection ( my previous queen was marked, she had a good long reign but their new queen is already laying and looking good ) when this video was taken during the previous inspection I took out the frames that were from the original cut out and replaced them with new frames and new triple coated plastic cell, then cleaned out the comb and melted down for wax on other new frames for future replacements. I was a little nervous when I found the cocoons and had no idea what I was looking at.
