Finding the Queen Bee - Part II

We ensured the queen had been released from her cage, then went looking for her frame by frame. Finally found her, and what a beauty she is!

Yes, each hive normally has one and only one Queen. Sometimes there are two for various reasons, but eventually they would meet (inside the hive) and fight until one of them is dead, leaving one Queen.

  What a breath of fresh air that comments was! That video was four years ago, and happy to say that there have been lots of hornets seen in and near the hives but no "swarms" - in improper use of the term "Swarm" but who's keeping track? the bees drive them out if they get too far into the hive.
