Soft wet queen

[Finman]

.
I cast away queens, which thorax is almost worker size. It means that it have not get enough food. Yesterday I squeezed the one.
The queen had a varroa in abdomen. I do not know if it was in the cell.

Queens are many. What I look about them is that they have no violations in wings, body or legs. Later they show, how good they are in laying.

Some seems very small but when they mate, they are good and normal looking.

Some queen has been so fat that it could not lay on the bottom of cell.

The more you handle the cells, the more queens have violations.

Sometimes queens are really soft when they emerge into the cage, but it is only early emerging.
