Beekeeping - Virgin queen honey bee pipping

This virgin queen just emerged from her cell and she started to pipe. It was much louder before I could turn on the camera. Not the best footage.

i heard........When a new queen bee emerges in a hive, she pipes (repeatedly sings a G# or A note) to incite her worker bees to fight for her if another queen in the hive needs killing.

Probably more like she's female and demanding attention. ;)

Bees are amazing. I pet bumblebees for fun. They're not aggressive at all. I wouldn't do that with honeybees as they seem more temperamental.
