clipped queen.

I could not find a queen in the other two swarms. Maybe I got a queen
yesterday. I will smoke the swarm through an excluder and see if the queen
is clipped. Thanks!

The owners of the house said they did not know of other bees in the area. I
use the area  of the swarm.Right now my hives for the area are in a holding
area but will be moved into the area starting today.
I have never put any hives in the area with clipped wings but common among
hobby beekeepers ordering marked & clipped.
Most my queens are marked.

Bob
