... *LOL* He he, I was asking myself "How long it will take until he revises this?"....and it came soon after! No worries, there are some nice beeks out there....
Get her in a queen cage somehow , put marshmallow in hole to do the slow release. Replace the lower box as you keep feeding they may need it. Meant pestering...

Just a cpl lil tidbits that I've read. Some folks spray sugar water when Intro'ing a queen. Lemon Grass (or its oil) is used a s bee lure for swarms, (or a...
