Sat for a while watching the bees coming and going and noticed the vast differents in the colour (patterns) of the bees, some where wasp like (not wasps) but more yellow and black while others are mainly black. These all come from the same queen (no extra brood frames from a different hive). Question: once the queen has mated and carries the sperm does she then produce different patterned bees from the different guys she has been with when laying the eggs? Just a thought.
