Queen Incubator

[Gunner63]

I know there were some previous posts on a constructing a queen incubator, but I was wondering if I used the Hova-bator chicken incubator that isnt being used in my basesment for the same purpose for queen cells? Can this be done, and appproximately what is the essential temperature to keep the cells at while incubating.

Hello Bill,

Chicken incubators are commonly used. The critical temp is 93 degrees F. 95 degrees will kill them.
