[QUOTE="James, post: 1115, member: 212"] Queen finding ..... somedays you do, someday you don't. The rule of thumb is that when you want the queen , you can't find her, and when you don't, you find her on the first frame. We generally just check for eggs and brood, and if all is good, we move on. .... We do a lot of dividing with queen excluders and come back in three days and look for eggs..... We do a lot of shaking bees from frames of brood and placing them above queen excluders and come back in half an hour.... And sometimes in desperation we hunt down the queen , but don't waste too much time on it , philosophically sighing ..... I'll find yah next time. [/QUOTE]
