What timber to use when building a hive from scratch

There’s some good advice in here:

My thinking is your failed queen was not mated so just laid drones.

There are so many options and it comes down to your philosophy and approach to beekeeping.

If you’re against euthanasing the drones, then put it above the QE and give them a way out following their emergence.

You can then render the wax down or do a cutout then reintroduce the frame at a time that suits.

Given the reason above for drone cells, theres a part of me that says let the colony deal with it. Workers/nurses dictate where and type of eggs laid, they will eventually change the cell type… is this thinking correct?
