Hi David;
Yes the drying out of the eggs and larva is the main reason for the
brood or queen cell death, sunlight and/or UV light can be some of the
problem however to be quite sure of the drying process, it is the low
humidity of the atmosphere, in other words, have a grafting shed or move
into the shade and used a special illumination equipment, that conserve heat.
