[QUOTE="tristan, post: 11469, member: 30"] Yes its easy to make a replacement, but what do you do with the old? Often you end up trying to save it and you still have the gear to deal with. What's different is the approach, you're simply not going to spend a whole lot of time on it and you need to recover the gear. For me combining it with a good strong hive (eg make it a two queen hive) is a quick simple way to recover a hive with minimal input. Should the weak hive queen fail, then the gear is already on and easy to split off a nuc or turned into a super. Should it recover then it can be split off easily. [/QUOTE]
