Queen Colors

Perry:
If she''s marked!  ;D

efmesch:
As an aid to remembering it (for this year only) tell yourself that this is the year of the GREEN QUEEN,
That should put Iddee's thread out of business for a year.  :laugh:

Thanks a lot Iddee. I have a lousy memory for poetry.  I'll keep referring to your pictures.

Ziffa:
I remember that Blue is a "stable" color and it is on the multiples of 5 years (easy division)

Then from there it is Buzz When Your Girl's Ready.  :) 

So last divisible by 5 year was 2010, so it was Buzz, then '11 = When, and '12 - Your, '13 = Girl and 14= Ready! RED! :D

I have a complicated mind.   :P

love,
ziffa

riverbee:
well i have to throw something into the mix here on the queen's color, some of our more industrious and hygienic honey bees tend to clean that colored spot off the thorax of the queen....... :D

brooksbeefarm:
I haven't ordered marked queens in years, i had alot of queens superseded that had paint on them, my thinking was the workers thought there was something wrong with them because of the paint. Since i have been ordering unmarked queens i haven't had that much problems. Jack
