commercial queens on natural cell
«

hi there,
I'm wondering if commercially available queens from the queen breeders around are fine on small smell. Having come from a larger cell colony I'm wondering if they lay ok in the smaller cells.
Thanks,
James.

Yes, they do fine.

The queens clearly prefer laying in small cell.
