I was wondering, what do you do with your colony when the queens dies ?

Im going to start putting my dead in alcohol.

me i normaly give the brood to any other nests that ive got even if it is a different speice. or try to get another queen to replace the dead one.
thanks

depends what killed them, if there are parasites, then I put the colony in the freezer and throw them in the bin, otherwise i'll feed them to my other colonies
