The Fastest Way to Tell if Your Hive is Queenless

Two hives from one that was split yesterday. Identical bees. Which one has a queen? Just listen to what the bees are telling you!

[@johnholland723]

I agree with kellan .. the queenless roar,... It's like they're having a lot of discussion:what the heck are we going to do now,..." they buzz

[@beefboi8450]

The one on the left? Seemed more poppin than the right one!

[@WhatsTheBuzz]

They get very noisy and disorganized when queenless!

@@WhatsTheBuzz thanks!

[@martykitson3442]

I too would guess the second one is queenless my question is are they taking care of that themselves or are you supplying a new queen?

[@mimimills2524]

The quiet one is queenless-busy bees are normal. The second one is not normal or they would all be ‘busy bees’ working for the betterment of the hive
