Poor Queen
Sometimes a young queen can also be a poor queen. Then she behaves just like an old, failing queen. Maybe she didn’t get enough royal jelly when she was a larva. Maybe she did not mate well, on her mating flight. Maybe she was injured when frames were being removed. If you know that your queen is a young one, but she lays a spotty brood pattern, or many drone eggs, then you should think about replacing her. Give her about 6 weeks after her mating flight to begin to lay eggs with a good brood pattern (topic 7). If things do not get better, you should re-queen the hive.
