Here is our lady of the Romans. We have been able to spot her on every inspection because she stands out so well.

Hi! Denise? Can you tell me the race of that queen? How can be so black and the bees so blondes? :?

The queen is a Carniolan. They shipped her with a package of Italians so they are golden while she is black. We are now seeing her children taking over for the Italians as they die off. Now most everyone is black with gray bands and she blends right in. They didn't mark her so I knew finding her would get more difficult.
