Very cool! My daughter and I were going through a friend's hive with her and it was full of swarm cells. On the fourth frame we pulled, one of the two cells on it was starting to break open as we noticed it. We held it out to see if we might get lucky and see her come out and she cooperated right away. Just a few minutes later she popped out and scrambled up onto the frame.
I was surprised that she was not as much larger than a worker given the size of the cells. I guess they are that large partly so they can store so much jelly in there with her?
That is very cool. I'm jealous.
That must have been cool to see. I assume you didn't take any pics or video to show us? :-P
pictures or video would have been great. i bet that was wicked cool to get to see.
I've never seen that. Good for you! :-D
I bet that was a sight to see. Lucky you.
Very cool.
