Replying here to my own post....

I should have added that this would need a tenfold increase in frequency...
100 GHz/200 GHz region... The disc on the queen's back would be an etched
aluminium foil aerial (antenna) with a chip in the centre that was powered
from the incoming RF energy and have stored info as to pedigree that could
be read by the search device as well as locating the queen within the hive.
