As a matter of pure curiosity what happens to a grafted queen cell if it is not vertical?  For instance what would happen if I installed a grafted JZBZ cup horizontal like a worker cell?  Would the bees abandon it?  Raise a worker in it?  Or turn it into a downward facing emergency cell and raise a queen?

Someone must have tried this sometime.  I find it curious that none of my books talk about this.
