"I can hear a lot of you saying this won't work and they will reject the

queen. What can I say, it has worked for me."
If you wait 10 days and destroy all the queen cells, the take will be even
better, but if you have a queen cell from another hive, this will be much
easier because you just kill the old queen and put in the frame with a
cell, and that's usually that. As an additional note, the bees are still
as mean as mountain lion pee afterwards; the new queen soothing syndrome
doesn't seem to be cross-racial, and I'm sure Mark has had the same
experience.
But still, as I said, you have to be master/steward whatever, and if you
don't have the technical skills to work the mean hive, what will you do in
a real emergency?
