Could not find the queen bee today. Rummaged and rifled through the hive, there were four or five drones, easily recognisable by the eyes apart size.
There are some other bees(type) there that do not quite seem to be drone or worker but not specifically the description of a queen whom is mildly larger than a drone and a more pointed rear end with wisps of hair at the tips.
I do have my suspicions she is a shorter variety at her tail end than other queens and have seen her today when she came out alone and took off in front of me shortly before this video, she appeared more giant "fly like"(maybe-probably bigger than the drones in there), but her segments along the tail seemed chunkyer.
Another interesting bee and it's markings on the tail end of mostly black "also has worker eyes" but is maybe a tiny piece larger than a worker and can be viewed for a moment at 1:20 in this video landing on the base board below the mid of the "8" and "9" and walking down around some bees then inside the hive.
An interesting point to note about creatures with an exoskeleton is they can tighten it and contract their size. Exactly how much of a shape change for dimensions queens are easily i do not know.
