I usually intrduce mated queens with cage on frame of emerging brood..
What's the best method for virgin queens, my plan was to make up 3 frame nucs 1 brood 1 food 1 foundation
5 days before queens emerge. cut out any eqc then introduce virgin or would It be better to take cells from the queen rearing colony 2 days before they emerge and stick them in .
Any advice would be appreciated
