No doubt,  not flighty and wide hips of a virgin....  I cage  well over 100 queens a week on average, so I see  a lot,  and know how they develop.  This was a midget.  For the record the parent queen was from a GA suppliers whos Itilians are already on the small side.   

She was perfectly formed,  and proportioned as a laying queen but tiny!   Sure as heck wish I had left her alone just for curiosity!

Do you think the queen had mated yet, Charles?
