Hello All,

     When I did commercial work, we shook all the bees out of a laying worker hive about 20 feet away and then put it back together and if it had enough bees we plopped in some brood and a caged queen for the bees to release.  I was told the laying worker(s) wouldn't be able to find their way back to the hive.  Within minutes the bees returned and as far as I remember the queens took when I returned days later.  If we didn't do this, usually the queens were not accepted.
