Easiest way I find the queen in a hot hive is to insert queen excluders
between all boxes and wait at least 4 days.  Then suit up and find the box
with eggs.  Move that box away and let the old bees all fly back.  Then it's
easy to find the queen in only one box of young bees.
We noticed that Weaver queens were a bit "spicy" last year.  Too bad, since
I applaud them for their mite resistance breeding program.
