Checking in on the swarm that we caught to see if the new queen they made has start to lay. We also took a look into the 2024 mated queen to see how she laying.
So their is a couple ways to tell if they have a queen. The first is to look for eggs or larva. Or if you spot the queen. The queen is unique that she has a longer abdomen. Later in the video when I go through the second hive I show the queen she has a green dot on her.
How do you know if they have a queen and how do they decide who the queen is

@custerfamilyhomestead3912 Also, they make queen cells, which they grow the queen in for several days.
