Long live the queen!

Queen spotting is such a hard thing for me.  I usually start looking right into the cells instead of doing a glance over the whole frame to spot the queen.  This doesn't work so well.  Today I went into two hives hoping to get a look at the queen and I did.

Notice the lack of stripes and the long graceful body?  How could I miss this???  Also, if you double click the picture, you can see new eggs in the cells.
