Hey Yappy!  :welcome:  Glad you found us here.
Great videos you posted. Gotta admit in the first one when that queen flew up I thought that was it for ya. You had a quick eye to find her too, it would have been a shame if she hadn't returned.

Thanks Perry. It would have been a shame but I didnt think she would go far. Took a few minutes and she was right back. Shes in a split now and doing good. Checked her yesturday and the new batch of girls are treating her well. Thanks for watching my videos and the comments.

Most times they dont generally go far. Just step back and let them regroup. She knows where home is and wants to stay with her protection of the hive.
