Just got our first ever bees. Had a package installed 3 days ago. Went to check queen cage this afternoon and found it empty, but at the bottom of the hive, partially covered in workers. After reassembling the hive we saw the marked queen flying around outside; we think she went back into the hive but are not sure. Is this normal? (is there anything normal about bee behaviour?!)
