Rock and Roll Queen

The other day I witnessed a behavior that was recently described to me. The rolling of the queen! I wondered if that queen is actually still viable, but just banished from her hive. If I start a new hive with her as the queen, will she still be rejected by any bees? Is she not going to be a good queen for any new hive ?

Thank you, Maggie for posting to the b.log!

I like the title of your post, but beyond that, I can't help.

Well - I will let you know what happens. I have put this queen in a nuc with some brood and nurses and now the wait is on....
