Hi all
This statement comes at the end of a two part series by Sue Cobey, one of the world's experts on queen rearing:

> Banking is a practice that should not be routine, but rather used as an emergency measure. For good results banks must be maintained much like cell builders, with lots of nurse bees and ample food stores. The quality of the bank and length of confinement will determine the care given.

Cobey, S. (2005). A versatile queen rearing and banking system - Part II - conclusion: Use of the" Cloake Board" for banking purposes. American Bee Journal, 145(5), 385-386.
