Attended a multiple chimney stack today, one flue has a resident colony, and it has been there a while.
Client called me as a neighbour had seen a swarm rise up from the resident colony and swirl down into another chimney.
Whilst removing bees from the room where the fireplace is, I found TWO queens in the room......not strange so far, but both of these were marked red.
Can anyone explain this?
