If you're concerned you'll never find the queen, the best way to start is to look for her when your hive is small, in the early Spring. There aren't a lot of frames she can be on, so it is considerably easier. When you do see her, take a mental note of her coloring. Better yet, when you purchase a nuc or package of bees, order her with a marking so she's super easy to find.
Although it's not necessary to find the queen when inspecting your hive, for the first few months, I recommend trying to find her. This will help refine your queen spotting skills. Once you have an easy time finding her, you can stop trying to find her every time you open the hive.

As a relatively new bee keeper, this was just where I'm at! You kept it simple. thank you! DM
-
I am a very new beekeeper and I was having trouble spotting the queen I watched this video 😊 I went out the next day and checked both hives..found both queens right away🎉 thank you so so much 😂
-
Unless she’s wearing a crown and holding a sceptre I don’t think I will ever get the hang of queen spotting! That’s why I have to rely on signs that she’s been there recently.
-
very nice video! thanks for sharing.
-
ALOHA and thanks for your videos! nice to see some banana trees in the background!
-
I like your videos on reading a hive. I get most of my information from Alaska beekeepers, but wanted to find some practical help in reading the frames. I found your two videos, queen spotting and reading of frame to be very helpful very well done thank you.
-
Great video!!!
-
Thank you, this was great. Also, I am a newbie beekeeper. subscribed!
-
Awesome Larissa great information 👍🐝🍯TrickyTrev 🇦🇺
-
You missed out that you should always hold the frame over the brood box in case the queen falls off! Here in the UK most of us mark our queens, if your you get a swarm, it helps identify where they have come from, also most manoeuvres often rely on placing the queen. Also if inspecting the brood you can often stop as soon as you see her.

Cool running,it was just nice.l hope you live a long and happy life.
-
Thank u for explained the queen bee
-
Thank you for information ❤
-
Your videos are so helpful. thank you!
-
Nice video !
-
Your beekeeping videos are my favorite. I am about to start beekeeping but I have a bad hip from a motorbike accident - do you think I can become a professional apiarist or would a disability bee a problem?
-
I can spot a queen everytime on a video but in my hive I hardly ever find her hmm
-
Very good video...this is my experience also. At least that is until I went to Vietnam and find out that honey bees here are darker than European bees...like people, their darker skin are designed to handle more intense sunlight in Asia...so it is like looking for black a diamond in the black sand.
-
If the quuen be don't like sunshine can i look for her in night?
-
I am 11 and I have 2 queens they never fight they actually eggs the same time
