I was able to cage both queens without any trouble.<br /><br />After I had one of the queens in her cage, I noticed some workers outside the hive eating honey from some burr comb I had removed and set on a log. So I thought about trying an experiment. If queens do indeed give off a signal telling workers to attend to her, then I can place the caged queen next to these workers and see if it is true. As soon as I set the queen cage near the workers, they all immediately stopped eating honey and crowded around the queen cage to attend to her. She has the power!Jeffrey Simonsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831624050825887157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546109086507919438.post-30757340264675077662013-08-12T11:11:34.544-07:002013-08-12T11:11:34.544-07:00No problems with having an attendant in the queen ...No problems with having an attendant in the queen cage along with her royal majesty!
