I have a colony that replaced their queen last month. The new queen is long and skinny. I saw her laying an egg and while she was inserted in the cell, she rotated 360 degrees. I saw her doing this twice. Is this common or should I replace her even though she seems to be doing a fine job of laying?
Leave her. Funny on the laying but she is new. Maybe she likes it that way.
i wouldn't fool with her.she will do just fine.she just started her new job and in no time she will become a pro at it :-D schawee
