Hi
have two Apideas both with mated Queens, One Queen is marked white and the other is unmarked.
While trying to locate the unmarked Queen I assume she flew off so I closed up the Apidea and returned 48hrs later to check again and mark her.
She was nowhere to be found in the Apidea.
I checked the second Apidea and located an unmarked queen in it but no sign of the marked Queen previously there.
The Question is it possible the Unmarked queen returned to the wrong Apidea and killed the resident queen or is it still possible I now have two marked queens in an apidea.
