Quiz what's going on with the frames.

Sounds like they got a bit stressed and gorged?

Yes, I reckon. It was cool and early in the morning when I moved them...only 5 degrees, but I made a mistake leaving the hive mat on under the travel screen. I should have had the top of the frames completely free for heated air to escape more freely.

Spot the queen.

To stop any wild guessing it is always pertinent I find to provide all info to help that what may lead up to the question in turn.

On another forum I frequent some one was concerned about a smoking lithium battery and asked reasons for why and is it normal. The answer simply was no, It took several more posts of prompting them to what may have occurred to give proper advice.
Eventually the fool said he and his bike both fell in to a canal, originally omitting the most important factor.

It doesn't help anyone in whatever sphere of asking what happened when vital info may be missing and why some folks don't bother to answer.

That's the same frame but not the same shot. She's obvious but where is she in post 24?

Not sure, but about halfway from the centre to the bottom left corner?

To me she is not far from the same place but covered by other bees, her thorax is viewable is one looks carefully.

 

[Antipodes]

One has to look very carefully and can just see her thorax.

And that tell-tale bit of leg.

Actually, no. I think I'm mistaken there.

Did you guess correctly?

I got there in the end.

I could do with loads of photos like this to practice on. As I've said I'm rubbish at spotting the queen.

It's much easier on a live frame.....really

Darker queens are harder for me to spot. The brighter yellow ones are much easier...for me.
Spotting the queen can be difficult with a strong bursting colony as the bees are often several layers deep. Don't even try with this example.
