Round two queen rearing in the same hive???
« on: May 26, 2014, 10:05:44 pm »
So yesterday I grafted 5 larvae into queen cups, looks like 4 of them have taken.
I want to cell punch this time, 5 more larvae in 5 days from now and am hoping I'll be able to use the same hive with Cloake board as the cells are in right now.
Will the bees make additional queen cells if there is already sealed or unsealed cells up above the Cloake Board?
I'll slide the board back in to make the top part queen-less again a day before cell punching takes place.
