Normally, no, the bees will only tolerate one queen in the hive. However, occasionally where the old queen is getting to the end of her laying life, the workers will produce a queen cell and hatch off a new queen. Mother and daughter queens can be seen together for a short period before the old queen disappears. This process is known as supercedure.

∙ 13y agoThere are rarely 2 queens in a single colony and only then as a transitional phase. Usually a queen will seek to kill any rival queen.
Very occasionally an older queen and her daughter may co-exist in a hive until the younger one is mated and laying eggs, but this is unusual.
