Trawled the search function as to the best temperature to incubate queen cells at. Found one statement of 36C, which sounds a bit low.
Anyone have any info.
Just found my favourite hive seemed to be the likely source of a swarm I found yesterday (had assumed one of 2 others where I'd nuc'd the Q and that I had missed a QC). No Q or eggs seen (but poor light & I need new glasses), 8 sealed QCs. I cut them back to one, but popped 3 more in my chicken egg incubator.
I only hived this lot as a swarm exactly one month ago!!
