Queen intro update

Isn't beekeeping fun and relaxing.

I have always found it very difficult to successfully introduce new queens into aggressive hives,I had one that was really bad and moved it to the other side of the apiary to lose the fliers before trying to find the Q and the flying bees went into the hive next door and killed that Queen!

This is unlucky, did you put a new BB on the original hive location? I tend to do this and put a frame of bias straight away.

I will make the point to bring my blood pressure monitor next time I inspect an apiary and do a before and after!!
