In this instructional segment, Laurence Edwards explains a key step in queen bee rearing: arranging frames within the hive to optimize the development of grafted queen cells. He advises placing several frames of brood—preferably at the emerging stage—in the lower box to ensure a strong influx of young worker bees. Simultaneously, he recommends positioning a frame of eggs in the slot where the grafts will be inserted, providing the necessary fresh larvae for successful queen rearing.
