Having used marked and clipped queens for 14 years I do get some to last 
2 to 3 years but the majority are replaced in the first year. as for 
marking the mark does go away so if the mark is missing does not mean 
she was replaced, clipping on the other hand does not go away unless she 
is replaced.
