Be sure you also destroy the larvae in 2 out of 3 cells in the linear row
you will give to the cell builders.  Otherwise, the cell builders will fuse
together the queen cells and it will be impossible for you to separate them.

You should not look to get more than 10-12 queen cells from a frame.  It is
better to get 10 good queen cells than to get 20 inferior cells!

Good luck,

Lloyd
