I went to go into one of my splits and noticed that the queen cage (JZBZ) was lying on the entrance to the hive! Now I know that I did not inadvertantly requeen it so poorly as to not even bother to place the queen inside the hive.
Did the bees drag the cage out? Seems like quite an accomplishment to me. THe real accomplishment was the fact that attendant bees had stayed with her the entire time, rain and all, and she was doing just fine. I released her and watched her walk into the hive as if she had been on vacation and was glad to finally get home!

How do these things happen?
