Part 2/5:
To find the queen, David employs a straightforward technique. He moves frames from the original hive to a new box to check for her presence. He recommends a quick inspection of the frames without spending too much time—which is crucial to minimize stress on the bees. Even a brief glance can help identify whether the queen is on a frame or nearby.
David's method includes blowing gently on the bees to clear the way, thereby increasing visibility on the frame. With patience, he eventually locates the marked queen. This hands-on demonstration serves as a reminder that sometimes, despite seeming elusive, the queen can be found with careful observation and technique.
