Most likely it will be in a testing tube. Part of the tube will be a small water tank sealed with cotton, the queen is abled to drink by sucking on the cotton. ;)

Okay and im guessing you put the tube in the farm and wait for the queen to leave the test tube?

best way i have found is i brought some Formica on ebay, they came in a small tub full of moss, this ment when they sent them they wernt all bouncing around the test tube, and i think it was alot less stressful

normally by test tube though =P
