>I have always assumed there would be some risk of the bees rearing several
emergency queen cells and swarming on the first queen out. No risk if u cage
the queen immediately over the brood.

Hi Robin:
Probably they will begin rearing new queens, but that doesn't necessarily
mean they will swarm on the first queen. And, if they do, well it won't be
a bother for those who dispose of their bees when they extract.
