Having in mind what Aaron said about geography and that no way is really
wrong, the above is not the way it is recommended in Australia.  The
recommendation is to not put a hole in the candy end.  The reasoning behind
this is that the longer the bees take to release the queen the better the
chance of acceptance.  This is whether the hive was originally queen right
or queenless.

We do not recommend looking at the hive before 7 days and then only with a
minimum of smoke.  If laying, take the cage out and leave.

FWIW.
