Hi,
A colony that was slightly irritable last year went ballistic when I opened them up today. They were pinging like mad and one of them got inside the veil somehow and stung me on the back of the head. They followed me to the far end of the garden buzzing around my head and continued to do this for about 10 mins. I didnt see the Queen or eggs, but did see young larvae. If I walked within 10 yds or so of the hive for the rest of the day I had an angry bee buzzing around my head. Does this suggest the queen has gone?
