Two queens continued

Well it seems that it could be possible to have two queens in the hive, which is called superceeding, this is where colony believes existing queen isn't performing, pretty rare this time of year especially as the marked queen is this years queen, time will tell, one of them will disappear in time usually the older queen which is marked.
But if this has happened or is happening I am told that it would indicate that the colony is a non swarming or very low swarming race and as such worth looking after.
