We re-queened our apiary yesterday with a pure line of Caucasian Queens from honeybeeresearchproject in Florida. We used pushin cages so the queens have areas to lay in, thus increasing their pheromones for better acceptance. I’ve included pics to share our methods. We also cut a small trap door into the pushing cages, or we simply could unplug one of the plugs on the queen cage that the queens came in, and hold it up to the trap door where they can walk straight in to the pushin cage without the possibility of them escaping. It works perfect for us. 🐝
