When looking at my colonies this weekend I saw something new, after 25
years among bees.  In a rather small but flourishing colony I saw two
perfectly good large queens on the same side of a comb, only about three
inches apart from each other.  I have heard that often when combining
two-queen colonies the queens co-exist for a time, and finally I saw
proof of this possibility.  Both queens were completely calm, as were
the workers around them.  It was a wonderful sight.
