Mats,
It is unclear from your post whether the finisher colony to which you
transfer the cells from the starter is queenless. I use a queenright
finisher (two boxes high) where the queen is confined to the lower box by an
excluder. The new cells (from a starter) are placed into the upper box,
near a frame containing young larvae. There is no other open brood. This
works quite well.
Both the starter and finisher colony receive thin syrup and a pattie while
they perform their respective tasks.
