That's encouraging. Sometime I fear we veer into exotica that nobody cares about. To 
reiterate, the experience of Charlie and Allen with thousands upon thousands of hives 
seems to attest that emergency queens raised under ideal conditions are every bit as good 
and possibly better than store bought. The issue of the age of the larvae is fully covered in 
this article

"Emergency queen rearing in honeybee colonies with brood of known age"

Bee Research Department, Agricultural University, 29 Listopada 52 31-425 Krakow, Poland
Apidologie 35 (2004) 275–282


PS, bees have been doing this for hundreds of thousands of years; they may know how to 
do it
