A couple years ago I met a beekeeper from Montana that makes all his increases indoors and if I'm not mistaken leaves them indoors for a few days or a week??. He says it increases his queen acceptance rate.
Spring of 2009 I had terrible queen acceptance and am considering starting all of my packages and nucs indoors. Does anyone have experience with this and have any thoughts or suggestions? I guess you'd have to cover the windows. I wonder about air, is a 60X90 building big enough for, say, starting a few hundred packages without introducing air into the building? Thank you for any suggestions.
