Breaking news. Cluster update

The queen has left her rock and is on the back of #2.  The number of bees traveling with her seems less.


The queen is not visible but is probably to the left of center under the ledge where a bunch of workers are facing inwards
Is she trying to get back into the hive?  I just asked Professor Seeley if queens do that.  From where she is, she can get between the beetle trap and the screen bottom.  Workers in the hive can feed her and spread her pheromones just like when a queen is in a queen cage.
I have no idea (or should I say many conflicting ideas) on how to deal with this situation.
