MultiQueen for Rapid Growth - will this work?

<< < (10/10)

@THP:
I will call on that, with the PMs!

But just one more question, as others might profit:
How many cells per finisher?
Finisher: Strong going two-deep-hive, 1 brood box with excluder on top. Grafts go in between (open?) brood frames in the top box, moved from below.
Correct?

TheHoneyPump:
In the upper box of the finisher: 30 cells per frame, 2 frames - 60 cells max, sandwiched between CAPPED emerging brood. The only open cells in the upper box are the queen cells.
All open brood is down below the qe with the queen, along with at least 2 empty frames for her to continue laying in.

What 60 cells per finisher?

7-10 betwen uncapped brood (to draw nurse bees up). Move at day 5 into incubator.

TheHoneyPump:
As described;  The finisher serves both purposes of completing and capping the cells as wells as is the incubator.
