Another queen, pics for viewing pleasure.
« on: September 11, 2019, 10:36:31 pm »


Note where the wing tip touches the abdomen.  A wing tip that just touches the third segment of the abdomen is a large queen.  Most wing tips pass over the third segment, thus a shorter abdomen,  this queen has s larger than normal abdomen.  The queens abdomen is made up of six segments.

I have been around bees a long time, since birth.  I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact.  I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding.  I do not sell queens, I will give queens  for free but no shipping.

Rally nice! I love the color! Is this another of your AI Queens Mr Van?
2 Chronicles 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Not Ai, Mr. Ben, Buddy.  Open mated, but has very gentle bees.  Usually in Sept, the bees excite easily.  Not from this queen.
Blessings
