Hi, All,                                                                        
                                                                                
Has anyone out there had any experience or do you have information on           
requeening colonies using queen cells?  We have recently begun trying this      
method and would like input from anyone who has tried this method.  What have   
been your success rates?                                                        
                                                                                
Also, in the case where the queen cell is introduced into the colony, without   
killing the existing queen, what percentage of the time will the new, virgin    
queen kill the existing queen.                                                  
                                                                                
Any information would be very helpfull.                                         
                                                                                
                                                                                
Regards,
