In fact it will become easy to find her once you get the hang of it. Don’t stunt your queen spotting abilities by depending on a dot! BUY BEES NOW!

During cold winter months, the bees pack together densely, with the queen at the center. They rapidly vibrate their flight muscles to create warmth without moving their wings. The bees on the outer part of the cluster will rotate inward to keep a revolving warmth in the cluster.
