This reminds me. . .
We always (when we remember) put JZBZ cell protectors on queen cells as
soon as they are capped. It saves a lot of grief -- ie. splits made, nucs
ready, or whatever, and then you go to get the cells to find them destroyed
due to a stray queen at the last minute.
I never hear this practice recomended. Why?
