did you drop her in a jar with some alcohol for swarm bait later?

Not yet...just sitting here watching her. Question, does the type of alcohol matter??

What kind of question is that?

Shucks, don't waste any perfectly good food grade alcohol when some rubbing alcohol will work fine!

All my old queens end up in the kids bug collections!

    I have one in isopropyl (-1sp?) alcohol.  I just don't know how long I can go until I need to throw it out.
Everyone said it couldn't be done. But he with a chuckle replied, "I won't be one to say it is so, until I give it a try."  So he buckled right in with a trace of a grin.  If he had a worry he hid it and he started to sing as he tackled that thing that couldn't be done, and he did it.  (unknown)

I don't think you'll ever need to throw out IPA.

So, rubbing alcohol is good then? I thought it might leave a funny smell behind. (I'm sure everyone knows not to use the green "winterfresh" stuff...)
