>> An old beekeeper in our club says that bees will kill a clipped queen.
Maybe..but not because of her being clipped.I clip spring queens and most
are still there the following spring.I have clipped thousand of them over
the years.One must be careful not to clip a leg off if the queen is
struggling.Tell the old boy to put on his glasses!
