Putting roller cages on capped queen cells

It's time to check the progress of the queen cells. If they are capped, we need to protect them from an emerged queen.

I had a good graft. it was very productive. The next step is to let queens emerge and put them in mating nucs or put the capped cells in hive splits to make more bees.

The suspense is not over. The queens must have mating flights and start laying before they will help a colony grow.
