Hi, All! Today I cut out a big queen cell to put it into a new nuc hive.
I use a sharp knife to cut it out and use a hive tool to carry it to the nuc
15' away as it is covered with bees. Needless to say the hive tool was not
big enough to hold the cell and I dropped it onto the ground about 2.5 feet
fall.
Has anybody had this situation before? You think this cell will hatch? Or should I put
another queen cell into this nuc? Look like she will hatch in 3 more days.
