Hi Queen enthusiasts,
My friend caught a large swarm from his hive. Looking thru the swarm, found the old queen with a dot.
Also found five (5), virgin queens. He mashed 2 trying to cage them and caged the others. I have 2 virgins in cages.
How long can I keep the virgins caged??
Has anyone ever found this in a swarm??
What caused this? Did they wait a couple of days too late to swarm??
This happened in North Alabama.
Lionel
