>When making a split to produce emergency queen cells. Remove all capped cells on day five. These were made from larva which you don’t knows how old they were. Uncapped cells are from eggs. Better queens.

You can also try to raise better emergency queens by notching the bottom third of existing cells on brood frames containing graft age larvae.  You can then remove all other suspect cells.
