What methods and what temps and humidity do people use for incubation? I
know some use those cheap chicken egg incubators and I have one but any
lessons learned?

I am trying to avoid making nucs up as I am running very low on equipment
thanks to another great year... I always seem to be behind on equipment...

Also what mechanism do folks use for trapping the virgin and then caging
her?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
