Can anyone comment on the pros and cons of when to move queen cells to an incubator from a finisher hive?  

For different reasons I have moved cells soon after being capped or within days of hatching into my incubator. Just wondering if more experienced queen rearers have any observations as to the timing and final quality of the virgin queens that hatch.
