No, I have not researched the archives.  Have just been on an extended trip to "chilly" San Diego, woke up on central standard daylight savings time and went to bed on Pacific daylight savings time.  I'm whupped!  Don't know if I will have the time to find the answer there so going the easy way.  Still got lebenty-leben unread e-mails in my mail box.  They'll just have to wait until I can get to them.

Question:  Gonna pick up some queen cells on Friday the 17th.  Before installation in five frame nucs, should the bees be queenless for about 24 hours or can I make my splits and install the queen cells about four to six hours later.  Don't want the queen cells chewed up and discarded.
