Are there folks here that uses incubators as an aid in their queen raising program?

Wally used to, don't know if he still does. 
If I remember correctly he had an old frig, thermostat and light bulb.
Worked well when I saw it.

Yes, Mr Ben, I have use incubators in the past: 92F and about 70%+ humidity.  Worked excellent.

I prefer to hatch queens in a hive, just my personal preference.  Each queen cell is placed in a cage, wether incubator or hive.

I have been around bees a long time, since birth.  I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact.  I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding.  I do not sell queens, I will give queens  for free but no shipping.
