Ever have a queen bite you?

I've had colonies where the workers chewed wood like its nothing and they would land on me and nibble me often. Pretty ticklish for sure.

Today I had a queen hatch out in my hand and in the adventures of getting her caged she bit me just a bit harder than a worker has. Not painful but never had that before.

Pretty good sized baby queen 🙂💪

Hopefully some good years ahead for her.

I've seen a lot of information on Caucasian bees being very gentle maybe the most gentle, but my local supplier says they are defensive... how have they been in your experience?
