Greetings,

I just recieved a shipment of Queens in a battery box
containing JZ's BZ queen cages and I've never used
this type of cage before!

I'm experienced at introducing queens with the
old-style three hole cages, and I recall that the JZ's
cages are an improvement as they will fit neatly
between the frames.

I did find a few very small pictures of these plastic
cages and some caps for covering the sugar plug-
however, I didn't find anything detailed about exactly
how they work or how best to handle them.

I don't want to open the battery cage to examine them
as I'll lose the attendants, and I can't install them
until tomorrow morning- I have to drive an hour to my
bee yard.

Can anyone give me some quick hints or recommendations
for anything different I'll need on hand to introduce
these ladies?
