>>I explained that it may have been due to a small virgin with the swarm that was able to pass
through the excluder.
Please elucidate.
We collected the swarm after the primary one [from the same hive] had been lost. We placed this secondary swarm in a hive body with excluders on the top and the bottom. My friend said over the phone this swarm subsequently disappeared from the hive body. My guess was that the presumed virgin with the secondary may have been small enough to pass through the queen excluder.
