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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.
