I found out from several sources that this was NOT my queen. YAY!!!
These are my workers though. I find it interesting that the one worker is SO much bigger than mine. Also notice that it has it's stinger out which suggests it stung someone or something. Given that this hive is a hundred yards from any edge of my property where people might be and none of my family has been stung, it must have been from another hive or had a fight with my bees. When you look at them in real life there is a VERY significant difference in size. The wings are longer, the head is larger, it clearly must be from a nearby hive and not mine. My bees are all small cell bees.
