Bush, looks like you are doing well, the only note I would add is: I place a hair roller cage over the capped queen cell. This prevents webbing of the queen cell.
I used to rear queen cells in an incubator, this is easier for me. However Brother Adam suggest queens hatched in a hive are {better} queens than those hatched in an incubator. So now I hatch queens in a hive, protected by hair roller cages. After hatching single virgin queens are placed in nucs or where needed.
Blessings
Heh... I bet you leave folks wondering on leaving the hair salon with
your box of hair rollers! /chuckle/
Talking from experience as in another Life I had cause to use (once)
around 300 tampons in an engineering exercise. That store owner
was scratching his head as I loaded every box he had in the shop
into my car. And back at base the clerk in reconciling my petty cash
expenses made it obvious he had serious doubts as to my honesty!
The use was for cleaning the detritus out of the tubes of a large heat
exchanger, a task that others had deemed impossible to uneconomical
as the job had to be "squeaky clean". Them tampons sure did squeak
as the guys dragged them through the tubes!! Heh Heh... :-))))
