OK they are still both alive, saw them today both on the same slide and within 3cms of each other, so much for queens fighting it out to the death!
OK a bit tough to see them, but imagine a diagonal line from bottom left to top right and then a quarter in from each end are the queens. Bottom left is the marked queen, you can just make out blue marker paint, she is quirt dark and has a pointed butt! She is in a slight clearing above three empty cells. Top right is the new queen, a more golden colour, same pointy butt, she is immediately below the two empty cells.
Perhaps this is bee history in the making?
Lots of wasp activity trying to rob honey, watched a group of bees smoother two wasps and then roll them out of the hive, give those wasps hell ladies:-)
PS picked up my second sting, right through the glove in my thumb!
