Laying workers

gregior

HI folks

One of my hives became queenless while i was away travelling,so i was not able to spot this until i returned some months later,unfortunately by this time it had developed laying workers.

I have now requeened the colony,but was wondering if the worker brood comb that had laying worker drones emerge from it would convert to drone cells once the new queen lays in it (due to the cells becoming larger) or wether worker bees could still emerge from these cells?

Many thanks for any replies in advance

Greg.
