Walter,
      When you use the queen introduction cage that way, do you also remove the  attendents that accompany her?  If not, is there a chance that the  attendants might chew through the hole themselves?  If you take the  attendents
 out, is there a danger that the queen could starve?   How long do you wait between introduction of the queen cage and checking for  release?
