Tim, I would ask the breeders. But if they are indeed reputable sources they
would have sould you queens in the range of say a month old. One other note
many breeders use colors to mark lines, yards, and so on or they may have had
paint left over from last year. We use almost 20 diffrent colors to mark
lines here at hybri bees.
