>I have never banked virgins, might be interesting to bank a virgin and
check, and see if the results held after she was mated.
Whenever I've used virgins I've used this method to cull them. I've seen the same results with virgins you've seen with mated queens. Some will never get tended to and some will be so covered with bees that it's hard to see them.
