I just raised some queen cells by a Miller/Hopkins adaptation...worker pretty well, but a bit messy dividing them up into my three nucs for them to emerge in a day or two.
Still, I have so far, only one emerge...I think due to the cold weather...surprised ANY emerged, really.
BUT, this one looks more like a worker than a queen...abdomen only slightly longer, and more pointed...is this because she is not bred yet? REally the only way I found her is that she waddles around differently than the workers...
Thanks for any/all advice!
