And like lots of things in bee keeping, sometimes tricky to understand.. till you have seen demonstrated.. then crystal clear.. and after doing for yourself.. SORTED!
Well done..

 

[For want of a better word]

Did you clip her too?​

Bugger, I could have done that. Unlikely to swarm though as a small colony over-wintered in a nuc box and not building up very quickly -- mind you, I've been fooled like that before.

Brilliant. I just about manage to spot the queen after 9 years.

Now that cheers me up (sorry) - four years and I've yet to manage that unmarked queen spotting thing...
