I did an inspection of the Bees Rules hive on the 15th and, once again, didn’t find the queen during the inspection. In reviewing the pictures of the frames taken during the inspection I did find a beaten and battered queen.
Plan is to get a new queen for this hive over the weekend. We’ll see if she has any better luck than the last couple of queens in this hive. With any luck I can get one that is brightly marked!
