nice video dave!
she is a virgin, so therefore 'unrecognized' as royalty to the bees until she mates.
a little info on afterswarms, from mark winston biology of the honey bee:
"New virgin queens begin to emerge about a week after the prime swarm issues, although queen emergence is variable depending on the timing of prime swarming relative to cell sealing.
Once virgin queens mate, colonies either produce afterswarms or kill all but the one remaining queen which will mate and reign over the nest. In the most typical scenario the first virgin queen to mature issues with an afterswarm 2-4 days after her emergence, and often a second afterswarm issues a few days later with the next queen to emerge. Anywhere from 0 to 4 afterswarms can issue from nests with means between 1 and 2 afterswarms per colony recorded for temperate evolved bee races. The worker population in swarms generally decreases with swarm number; in one study prime swarms and first and second afterswarms had means of 16,000, 11,500, and 4,000 workers, respectively. Third and fourth afterswarms frequently contain only a handful of workers. Swarms can be much larger of smaller than these values......There is a strong correlation between the area of sealed brood when the prime swarm issues and the number of afterswarms. Thus, colonies regulate the extent of their afterswarming according to the number of workers required to remain in the original colony.
Afterswarms are similar in most respects to prime swarms, except that virgin queens participate rather than mated queens. Although only one virgin queen usually issues with an afterswarm, other mature queens from cells sometimes escape during the chaotic period when afterswarms issue and afterswarms can contain up to three queens. Workers in afterswarms do not engorge as fully as in prime swarms and fewer young workers issue with afterswarms."
