I found one on June 12th, it was in a full size hive that requeened itself.
She was tiny and I almost pinched her but had nothing to replace her with
at the time so I marked her hoping it would help me find her when I had a
replacement. I was lucky to notice her the first time she was so small but
she caught my eye because of the way she moved, that nervous way a young
queen flutters their wings when they run across a frame. On June 28th I
went back to replace her and found a beautiful brood pattern and a nice big
queen. She had a mark so it was the same queen, she had easily tripled in
size. On July 19 I inspected the brood area again and remarked that there
was an excellent brood pattern.
