Bob Exclaimed:  "I would be willing to bet serious money that we could go
through a hundred of my hives and not find two queens together this time
of year!"

FWIW, the TIMES of the year when I do see this fairly rare phenomenon of
two queens “side by side” in the Piedmont of North Carolina and on the
south side of Virginia are mid-May through mid-June or Mid- September
through October.  I do not believe that I have seen this during either mid-
Summer or prior to the spring honey flow.

PS. In reference to the 2003 HONEY CROP officially due out at the end of
this month here is the my report for Jody Roberts:
"Oh, we ain’t got a barrel of honey, maybe we’re ragged and funny, but
we’re moving along, singing a song, “side by side”"; everyone is welcome
to join in.  -Chuck
