I have read a Bro. Adams remark about caged queens. He says that caging a
queen will damage her to some degree depending on the extent of her
captivity.
Does anybody know whether a study to this effect has been done?
Thanks


Hi All,

     Sometimes queens get banked for longer periods of time.  From my limited experience these queens don't fare well.  Most get superceded.  I wonder how long some of them get banked before they are shipped?
