This one's a bit harder. I can't believe it's only been three weeks and we're ready to put the second brood boxes on.

Well, there are two that look like queens this time...

About 2 inches from the bottom, and about 4-5 inches from the left.

About 1.5 inches from the bottom, near the middle.

Hard to say which one is Wanda. They both have longer bodies and slightly different markings compared to all the other bees. The one in the left is more black and the one in the middle is more red. If I had to pick one, I'd go with the one in the middle.

I second your analysis.

That's right, but I agree, that one on the left looks bigger. And the picture doesn't show their eyes, which is the dead giveaway because the queen's eyes meet.

The one on the left is probably a drone, or it could even be a local bee stealing honey (although that happens in the fall more often).
