Just curious as to how long could you keep a queen in a metal "Barbie" style queen catcher?
Specifically I was thinking of confining the queen in the queen catcher while suspended from the bar in the broodnest for 14 days to create a brood break. I assume the nurse bees still have access through the queen catcher to tend to the queen during this time.
Thanks in advance.
