Subject 1: 'clipped' queens.
 A. Can a queen that's been clipped fly in order to swarm?
 
 B. Will she lay queen cell eggs as though she will be leaving?
 
 C. If she gets outside by walking or attempting to fly, will putting her back
    in the hive assuage her urge to leave?
 
 D. Do worker bees still recognize and respect a clipped and marked queen or do
    they try to replace her because of the alterations?
 
Subject 2: feeding of syrup.
 A. Does feeding sugar syrup to the bees into May (in order to help with wax
    production on a package hive) have a tendency to bring on a swarm?
 
Thank you for your time.
