Dear Bee Listers,

Has anyone heard / heard of, workers piping? I was inspecting a colony
with an old queen, who happened to be above the excluder. Took out the
frame with her on it. Pulled out each and every frame below the
excluder, just to make sure. One frame I pulled out emitted a piping
sound very similar to queen piping.

Put my ear to the frame crawling with bees and isolated a spot about 3
inches square from which a piping sound was being made. Inpected it for
a good ten minutes. No queen.

Do workers pipe?
