>Thanks Michael, your shake and forget method, once the laying worker is shaken to another hive will she revert back to her old duties or will the colony ball her?
I don't know for sure, but it works out. They might stop them at the door and kill them or they might let them in. But they have a different attitude when begging to be let into a hive that is not theirs, than they do when they think they are defending their own home.
