I've had times when I could not find the queen in a small hive in spite of
going through all the frames twice. She was there because I saw her a few
days before and a few days after. Usually the queen is really easy to spot.
Just keep looking. She is much bigger than the worker bees and has a
waspish looking abdomen. Don't confuse her with a drone, which is usually
darker and has a round cylindrical abdomen.
