This year is crazy, first time I've ever seen bees evict drones at this time of year !
My drones are still ok thankfully.
16 queens have emerged in the incubator overnight final 3 wont be long as you can see them moving in the cells..
Next batch of 13 due on Thursday
folder cleared now Calum
Was just browsing and found this
Queen cell incubator for £50 temp and humidity controlled

Might not know much about using incubators for breeding queens but with this model we had great success hatching chicks.I dont have any associations with the company, but it worked well.

I use the Brinsea Octagon 20.

Just set the temperature for 34.5c and keep the water troughs full. No more to it than that.
I usually move the cells in about 2-3 days from queen emergence.
