Ok I give up. Everybody talks about bee breeding and mini nucs, grafting etc but how do you get the queen from a mini nuc into an introduction cage? I managed 1 queen by knocking her off the mini frame and quickly putting the cage over her. The next queen after hunting her for ages I tried the same. I was not certain she was in the cage so like an idiot I thought I would have a quick look. I slid the slide back a fraction and like a rocket she was off. I watched carefully and I think she went straight back into the mini nuc. I have now given up for today. So is there an easy way to catch her?
