I want to place a queen cell in the middle of the brood chambers week
or two before the honeyflow to do a queen replacement?
I'll be making my own cells
Any opinions and experience in this matter is welcome
Do the queens fight before the newly emerged queen mates, or after
she comes back?
What is the percentage of acceptance of the new queen?  basically
this is just a supercedure brought on by myself, not the hives, so does
the hive treat it as a regular hive supercedure?
I heard of this being done during the honeyflow, by placing the cell
inthe top of the honeysuper, but I use excluders and don't feel like
breaking every hive down to add the cell to fht brood chamber.
