I have a queen finding method that works when all else fails. Spread a
large white sheet flat on the ground near the hive. Disassemble the
entire hive shaking all bees onto the sheet. Get down and search until
the queen is located. Reassemble the hive and shake bees back into it.
This method is hard on the hive and on the beekeeper, but it works.
