What do you do with excess queens? Release them where you found them?

(Assuming you don't want to sell them)

Usually you would keep them just in case your other queens die for some reason

If you really don't want them or to sell them well then I guess you could just release them in their natural habitat. I would recommend starting the colonies and then selling them though as it has many benefits.

Unless they are released immediately after their nuptial flight, they are basically doomed to die. How many do you have? Finding a home for them would be a better idea.
