Has anybody ever experienced a queen leaving the hive to go hang out with other bees outside the hive in bearding?
I swapped some hives, and left the beard cluster to go back in the weaker hives that I had placed in the strong hive's location. It had me wondering if a queen could of been in those beard clusters.
Thank you.

Good question. I have had a queen above the inner cover before. Why was she up there, who knows. I really don't see why she would leave the brood area, but with bees, you never can tell. I really doubt that she would leave the hive though.
