[QUOTE="Breeder of queens Koss, post: 13176, member: 449"] Alastair, the presence of a dividing grid on the entrance is mandatory for artificial insemination. It is believed that bees also stimulate the queen bee to perform a nuptial flight. Especially when the queen is a virgin. Depending on the design of the hive, the queen can be driven into the entrance and maimed, therefore, according to the rules, the grate is placed inside the entrance. This is according to the observations of European breeders. I have a grate between the box and the bottom of the hive. The problem, of course, is with the drone, which cannot pass through it, so you have to periodically clean it. The first year I cut the wing the same way, and I was very surprised when I was returning the queen to the nucleus, when she took off and flew away from me... Queens with clipped wings fly, not high, of course, but enough to get lost. Usually they cut the wing to be on the safe side in case the special plastic mark on the queen bee's chest might fall off due to poorly applied glue. If I'm not mistaken, the left wing is an odd year, the right wing is an even year. I remove the grid only when the printed brood appears. The artificial insemination queen's pheromone begins to be released late, so for bees, she has the status of a “virgin queen,” so there are nuances when introducing her into the hive. In a month she will be no different from queen bees of natural insemination [/QUOTE]
