A comment on the thread of Queen Incubators.
 
I use a Koolatron (brand name for an automatic food cooler).  It is
available for around $150 Canadian.  It is made to keep food either hot or
cold, plugs into a car's cigarette lighter or a.c. with an adapter.  The
better models have a built-in thermostat so is quite convenient especially
for transporting queen cells.  However you must calibrate the thermostat but
once set usually performs well for me.  I insert a thermometer through a
small hole drilled in the insulated lid to calibrate and leave it there
since I like to monitor it from time to time
 
Like someone mentioned water in a pan inside is a good idea.  I prefer to
use a wet towel since it does not slop around while traveling.  Use warm
water.
