This happened during beekeeping autumn here in Europe, two weeks before I started feeding sugar for the winter time. There was no swarming after this, I am not sure about english expression, but we call it "silent exchange".
I don´t cut(shorten) the wings to my marked queens, so I guess the new one had to bite them off, as the blue marked one does not have them-as i realised later. It was interesting that they were fighting for few minutes and the new one left than, but the old queen continued in laying the eggs into the combs. Quite brutal effectivity of the colony, isn´t it?
