[QUOTE="Breeder of queens Koss, post: 13121, member: 449"] I would like to add that virgin queens who are born in “Curlers” first of all eat up the remnants of royal jelly, which is in the queen cell. What the queen didn't finish eating when she was a larva. There are two types of royal jelly itself. Transparent and white. How the queen is fed is the question. You can try adding royal jelly, but I find it difficult to answer what effect this will give. And is it worth the time and effort? After insemination, I also keep the queen bees in the incubator for some time, but it is equally important that the bees have access to the queen so that they can help and serve her. The smaller the dose of sperm, the less critical this factor is. ( in my experience) [/QUOTE]
