Hi there.

I'd like to ask for some help on a question:

 I'm making plans for breeding queens this summer and i want to move the queen cells into an incubator as soon as they have been capped. My problem is that i would prefer not to have my starter colony in my back yard, but rather in my nearest bee yard, which is a five minute drive from home. So i'd like to ask - if i move my frames of newly capped queen cells from the colony, into my car, drive carefully for five minutes and then carry the cells into my house and put them into my incubator, will this significantly reduce my success with the queens?

I am familiar with all the steps in the breeding process and the incubator i have is working perfectly, so all i'm asking about is the drive between the starter hive and my incubator.
