I'm going to requeen a hive but first must find and catch the current queen. I'm taking and putting her in a trap out I have going. I finally found her, she is soooo runny!! I don't normally have a hard time finding queens but I finally found her (the first time) on the outside of the very last frame. She then flew off, came back a couple of minutes later. I almost caught her the second time but she flew off again. I waited a few more minutes. :waiting: Mind you, it is very hot outside right now and all I have is a full suit (loaned veils to others) and I'M DYING RIGHT NOW!!.
I finally figure out she is back in the box, and ah ha! after a few minutes I find her again and get her caught!
Earlier I couldn't find my queen clip, after I get her caught I look down into my bucket and see...my queen clip. Yay! Then at that same moment, she gets loose and flys away.:doh: I'm pretty sure she knows she can outlast me. I am SOAKED in sweat and my eyes were stinging from the sweat rolling in them. I halfway closed them up, come inside for a bit to cool down and drink some water, then I'm going to go try it again. Wish me luck, at this point I just want her out....dead or alive.
