place a build out comb in the brood of the best of your hives.
after a few days
Make a very strong nuck without queen!
take the frame with fresh laid eggs an larvae.

make with a sharp knife a dropping bow cut through the area with new brood
not older than three days.
remove the comb below the bow cut!
Thin out the cells at the edge on one side of the bovcut then remove the
cells at the other side.
Place it in the strong nuck!

handle the cells as if you have grafted. I normally get 5 to 8 queen cells
this way.
