I have a question about caging queens. In this email it was stated "I caged 
all of my queens for long enough to create a one week long period where no 
capped brood existed in all hives during late November.  The queens were 
released from their cages and allowed to resume brood rearing."

Can't queens get egg bound as a bird does if their cycle of egg laying is 
interrupted quickly?  Do you give her a place get rid of eggs when caged? To 
just stop it the egg laying abruptly is a good way to cause death with allot 
of female things such as birds. I would think with queens it would be the 
same.
