The queen bee is not the leader of the hive and she doesn’t rule over the other bees. It’s the female worker #bees who make the decisions…and they do so collectively as a group!

This washing machine had been repurposed and was being used as a compost bin… until bees decided to move in and build a hive there!

The bees on this umbrella needed more than just a new home...they needed a new queen!

@thepwt821 I had her shipped to me in the mail and was taking her and another queen to colonies that I was going to split later that day. If you take bees and resources from one hive, and give them a new queen, you can create another bee colony.

@GreenInkBrigade Yes, I happened to have a queen on me that day. It's busy bee season, I did this removal in the morning, and I had a full day of beework ahead of me. That queen was going to be used later on to split a healthy colony in order to start another.

@texasbeeworks I think there were a few parts edited out of this. She "just happened" to have a hive-less queen AND brought it with her, this despite not knowing if the swarm had a queen already and queen-less swarms being "unusual." Still, cool video.
