me neither here is a link I found to pictures of jenter and other kits, can you find a picture that matches?
...

do you have a picture? the one i have is so old the instructions were in german and I haven't run across any cell cups that didn't work?

over time the bees build the wax out around the holes the queen lays in just like in a hive. some queens seem to like the holes that are deeper than the jenter provides.

is this the first time you have used this jenter, I found they wouldn't lay until they started to draw out the face of the kit. after that they use it just fine.

how about providing a link?

never tried it so can't comment except that after loosing the queen, I usually make sure the jenter is between two frames of open lava to make sure they feed the lava when they hatch in the jenter,...

not sure either has any.

I say it must be a two way street, best queens I ever bought came from canada, but they no longer ship due to the cost and delays getting them down here.

If you send me your email I will send you a nice write up of how to do it, here is the short version. take a queen excluder and extra frames and extra box, find the frames you want for your nuc,...

best point I have heard yet.

small clusters that are raising brood in cool/cold weather are unable to leave the brood to go to the bathroom, after a while they are forced to do it in the hive.

sure hope so, its getting to crowded in N.Y.

the other option is to allow the Mexicans bring bees in for almonds, would seem to me that would be a less expensive option for the almond growers.

the old method may have been .17, but either from Randy's article or one of his posts on bee-l, he said that the govt. wasn't enforcing the laws because it would hurt the commercial beeks. now that...

I doubt it, they will just file for bankruptcy, as you said they already hid the money. that's why jail time for them would be better.
