If some one released a queen from a travel cage
not in to a hive but just desided to sent her free
how long would she survive on her own?
 
Queens deteriorate after 30 minutes on there own.
 
If a mated queen,she would get chilled after a few minutes and be in a moribund state on the ground,where she would die,maybe several hours later....very faint breathing.
Hope the stupid bag never realeased the one's you were posting,if so make sure you claim for breeder queens worth £400 each.
