Hi Sandy,
The only research i have have read is U.S.D.A. research which say your
tax dollars were used to research this very subject. The research was
done only on worker cells to my knowledge. 45 minutes the U.S.D.A. says
is the average time a worker bee spends pollishing a cell for the next
egg. I have allways felt this was excellent research and money well
spent. When the research was  properly applied my beekeeping has
improved. Hope i have helped!
Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
