Subject: Size of queen cells??

Hello all,

I really appreciate you all for answering my questions. I hope you don't
get tired of them.

The rescued bees allowed their queens to lay for one day, dispatched her
and have begun building supercedure cells. It has been my custom to
remove the smaller cells, saving the larger ones. This was done
believing that "runt" queens would be inferior.

Now, in the first stage of regression, would there be an advantage in
saving smaller cells, or would the queens from them be inferior?

Thanks again for your input.

Micky
