How to Fix Laying Workers Honey Bees

This is what I typically do when I have a colony with laying workers. Laying workers develop when they are missing their queen and have no eggs or larva to raise a new queen. Perhaps a colony swarmed and the new virgin queen fails to get mated or goes missing and the colony becomes hopelessly queenless. After several weeks of being queenless, the workers can develop their ovaries and begin laying eggs but the eggs are not fertile. The unfertilized eggs will only result in drones and typically you will see many eggs per cell. Fixing a laying worker colony can be very difficult and often fails in the end. This method uses all the resources and bees, except the laying workers, and puts everything back into a working environment with very low risk of failure.
