This double queen nuc is the first one I've ever seen. If I've ever had any single colony with more than one queen working it I didn't know it. I knew it was possible for two queens to live and work in the same colony because I've heard reputable people claim to have seen it before but this is the first time I've ever witnessed it in person, or even on video for that matter. There are ways to manipulate colonies and have two mated queens working adjacent brood boxes and sharing the same honey supers but those queens never have the opportunity to cross paths like these two did. The odd part to me is that the workers didn't seem to mind and they will typically not accept more that one mated queen per colony. Fun interesting stuff to say the least.
It's also fun to see these queens working the frame and laying eggs. It's yet another thing that most beekeepers will never see simply due to the fact they don't take the time to wait and observe. I hope you enjoyed this footage.
