Karen asked>> Do you give her a place get rid of eggs when caged?

I never really thought about injuring the queens by preventing them from laying.  It is a common practice to cage laying queens before being shipped, and they seem to recover without a problem.  In the case of my experiment, I caged the queens behind a push in screen cage so she could still lay eggs in a 2"x2" square of honeycomb.
