Since her well-being is linked to the well-being of the entire colony, the ability to find her among the residents of the hive is an essential beekeeping skill. In \u003ci\u003eQueenSpotting\u003c\/i\u003e, experienced beekeeper and professional \"swarm catcher\" Hilary Kearney challenges readers to \"spot the queen\" with 48 fold-out visual puzzles -- vivid up-close photos of the queen hidden among her many subjects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eQueenSpotting\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the unique, fascinating life of the queen bee and chronicles royal hive happenings such as The Virgin Death Match, The Nuptual Flight -- when the queen mates with a cloud of male drones high in the air -- and the dramatic Exodus of the Swarm from the hive.

Fascinating, fun, and instructive, backyard beekeepers and nature lovers alike will find reason to return to the pages again and again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hilary Kearney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Storey Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 7.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635860375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKearney, Hilary:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Hilary Kearney is the author of \u003ci\u003eQueenSpotting\u003c\/i\u003e and the creator of Girl Next Door Honey, a beekeeping business that offers educational opportunities to hundreds of new beekeepers each year.
