I've had a nuc box with a QC and a couple of frames of bees for the last couple of weeks, result of a swarm and lots of QCs available. I went in the nuc to see if she had hatched this afternoon and an enormous queen came zipping out straight toward my face (yes my beesuit was on). Thats great, thought I, lost my first virgin queen. She buzzed me for about two minutes (seemed like an age) then flew back in to the nuc box. Stout Party breathes sigh of relief.
