> I would suspect that banking of queens, esp when in wire screened cages that can cause the loss of tarsal claws, could be a factor.  

Randy, I think it was either Don Nelson or Cam Jay that had a paper out on the size of the mesh used for banking and the damage to tarsal claws on the queens feet.  They did recommend a size which had the least damage but I cannot recall what it was.
