Sterilising my nuc boxes yesterday I found a deceased nuc.
Reason for death was Queen trapped in intro cage.
Why?
I remember doing this and thought the bees would easily let her out albeit with a good delay.
Not having candy with me I screwed up some newspaper and plugged the intro cage effectively dooming her.
So dear reader do not do this as one dead queen is enough. Use candy.
