Beemaster Greetings.
A NewBee here, planning on using the Nicot system. I don't need to raise many queens (perhaps a dozen or so) and to that end, I was planning on using masking tape to tape off most of the cell cups on the Nicot box so that the host queen would not lay in those cells.
I've read that one should expect poor results if all the cells are not used.
Anyone with experience in this area?
TIA
George
