Bob,
What is the advantage of introducing virgin queens instead
of queen  cells?

Reply:
With a virgin you get queen with instant fight ability
which with supercedure means alot in taking out old queen,
though many times she will act like a mother daughter combo
and both will lay on same frame even in beginning.

 With a queen cell you have something that can be torn down
and chewed out by workers,and/or queen jostled inside to
deform wings in transport prior to putting in. Also
sometimes the queen cells never emerge a queen too for some
reason.

Sincerely,

Dee A. Lusby
