Nice work Charlie! I'm curious as to why some get better results than
others--the devil is likely in the details. I've heard of some using a
cell protector, or wrapping the inserted cells with tape. Did you (or do
others you have spoken with) do any sort of cell protection?
And exactly where are successful requeeners placing the introduced queen
cell?
>As mentioned the downside was 3-4 weeks broodless.
This downside could be an opportunity to control varroa with an application
of oxalic acid.
