[QUOTE="kennethpyburn, post: 10946, member: 292"] I am fairly certain that for the first time I heard one of my queens piping yesterday. Do only unmated queens pipe or will a mated queen pipe? This colony had swarmed and I expected by yesterday to have seen eggs from the new queen, however there were none, but I did hear the piping. This queen would have been at least 5-7 days old as on 5/16 I saw a queen cell that had been opened and they did not build any cells on a frame of eggs and larvae that I added on the same day as an insurance policy against there being no queen in the colony.
