virgin queen release

(1/1)

rober:
can virgin queens be direct released into hives or should they be put into release cages. hives were checked for queen cells.

Zweefer:
depends on how long the hives have been queenless...

rober:
10 days

Zweefer:
in theory she should be fine, but as was mentioned elsewhere, might want to cage just to be safe. :yes:

LazyBkpr:
Yeah...   are they completely broodless?   I'd do an inspection, make sure no new queen cells being fed, and put her in a cage with a marshmallow so she will be safe for a couple days before hitting the bigtime!
