The "wetback" way of doing it is letting the bees to take care for the cell.


I use a styrofoam icecream box with a bed of cotton. A bit of water. Some
holes in the cover for the bees to breath, and a bunch of young bees inside
to take care of the cells.

I take the cell out of the rising hive at day 9th after grafting so there is
no damage to the wings cause of the movement.

I have manage to drive 1000 km and put the cell during the next two days
without any damage to the queens. It works and it is cheap.
