I just pulled a frame of fresh beeswax and honey from the third story of my hive and dropped it in my obs hive for a school presentation tomorrow. I was admiring them when who should walk by but the queen!!

So will the girls back home miss the queen enough that I need to put her back right this minute (even though the sun is setting and it's starting to sprinkle...sigh) or will they forgive me for taking her for 24 hours?

A week ago, I had a dream that I looked in my obs hive and all the bees were dead at the bottom with the queen right there on top. And now she's really in there... weird.

So she was on a frame of honey? That's odd.

I wouldn't worry about taking the queen for that long. We have carried an observation hive to craft shows for the past 4 years and always make sure we have the queen to show people. We have had her away from the hive for 2-3 days with no problems. The only time we had problems was taking her for a 5 day period.

I always get her on purpose. No issues if it's only 24 hours.
