Don't mark her:( Some mark the queen to show at fairs or schools, but you don't need to threaten her health. Queens are hard to come by in MN. Except in Minneapolis (red light district) never mind! :oops:
Looks like you are well on your way to healthy hives. I'm so glad your bees are BEEhaving.
It's BEEn a long time since I did BEEkeeping. I'm happy to see your progress! "Long Live the Queen! :D
