Your opinion? Upon making splits, I have been given two different sets of ideas on making splits with the adding of queen cells. On one hand some folks say add two queen cells per split. On the other hand some folks say only add one queen cell per split. Hum that is interesting to me. First type reasoning is in the case one queen cell does not survive to hatch, you will have a second chance for success. Sounds reasonable? On the other hand the one queen cell per split says, to add two queen cells per split is a waste of a good split and QC, IF the QUeen Cells were properly harvested, making sure they were not damaged and temperatures were kept up to par, properly placed into the split etc. Some also say in the case both QCs emerge at or around the same time , (referring to first method of two QC) BEFORE the first can kill the second inside her yet to emerge cell, and both make it to hatch, (emerge) the virgin queens WILL fight it out leaving one survivor, sometimes NO survivor, as they both can perish as the results of the deadly fight. HUM You tell me? I do not think either way is wrong? What are your thoughts and maybe your experiences?
