I had a queen emerge in a roller cage this evening in my incubator (first one), I am going to put the virgin into an Apidea tomorrow evening, should I leave this queen in the incubator Or should I leave her in my workshop in the cool until tomorrow evening?
I have put a small amount of honey in the roller cage.
Thanks Nick
 
You should add a drop of water with the honey.
 
Best to put her in a nicot cage with a few young attendants and food, they don't keep well in an incubator, don't put much liquid in the cage or she will end up in a sticky mess.
