FloridaGardener:
Hmm. The Q is marked, and her red-pink paint is half-worn off as usual...she's definitely the same Q.  I must've gone in just in time to re-hive her. 

The pebbled, capped swarm cups are on showing up on edge (swarm) not face (supercedure) so I don't think it's because that Q failing somehow.   In 3 days I'll check the big hive again.

Thanks again for all your input.

Even queens only live three or four years.  Most effects of plastic are a bigger issue for humans who live a lot longer...  But if you have concerns, don't use plastic.  Plastic is certainly not necessary.
