 We put in pre heated sawdust and then pack the queen cells in at
> 10 days old.  A layer is about 110 cells. The top is then filled with more 
> pre heated sawdust.

Trevor, is the sawdust light fluffy sawdust, or more on the lines of heavy 
type stuff...or does it make any difference.Also about how thick are the 
sawdust layers above and below. I am about to go pick up some queen cells 
(last year I lost most of a batch I think because of my inadequate means of 
transporting them)
Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
