Haha wow that’s pretty impressive. When do you do it that they are so calm? (Assuming they’re calm lol!)

There is a caged queen under my chin. The whole process is described here -> https://steemit.com/howto/@bushkill/the-mysteries-of-a-bee-beard-revealed
Ah! That makes so much sense. Always makes for such a cool photo op and I imagine an incredible sensation?? Thanks for the link as well. Do you mark your queens or by now perhaps you’re just very good at sighting them?
Yup, I do mark them, that (and clipping) are the only way to know for sure that they haven't been superceded. Stay tuned for "Beekeeping for Everyone #4" that should come out tomorrow, for my thoughts on supercedure.
Here is a post (and video) on queen marking -> https://steemit.com/howto/@bushkill/how-to-mark-a-honeybee-queen
