I have the need to store a queen (which has been ordered and is to be used
for requeening) while I'm away from home. A neighbor will be receiving
the queen from the post while I'm gone. Is there a recommended way to
store a queen temporarily ( a full two weeks) until I can install in my
solo hive?. I do have a couple of frames of spare comb (with capped honey
and pollen), a couple of spare brood combs, and an extra hive body as
resources (other than the one very weak hive that needs requeening).
Any suggestions? You may e-mail me directly.
