>>>I know a beekeeper in New York that raises cells this way. Pres of the Champlain Valley Beekeepers. Claims to have invented the method.<<<


Although this fellow may have developed it on his own, this is not a new innovation. I read about growing queen cells this way. When I get home from work, i'll look it up. The 'article' I read included scoring the comb 2 cells, while leaving one, do this in all 3 directions, and your queen cells won't grow together.
