Caught a swarm last Monday and placed in hive on duragilt foundation. Wentin today and they have most of 5 frames drawn already with honey and saw lots of eggs. Last frame I pulled had the queen.
As I was checking her out several bees seemed to be balling her. One had her by a wing and would not let her go while 3 or 4 more was just crawling around on and over her.
I am up to 12 hive and check them weekly and have never seen bees treat their own queen this way.
Any ideas?
