We all know that the queen bee is the heart of the colony. Without her the colony will fail. We also know that in order in start a new colony of bee you'll need an additional queen. Their are several ways to raise queens but not all of these methods raise high quality queens. What is a high quality queen? This would be a queen that lays thousands of eggs a day without failing. She should have large brood patterns to produce that monstrous colony to make large honey yields.
To get high quality queens you need to pick the correct rearing procedure. Many beekeeper choose to graft. This process can rear great queens if all the steps are followed perfectly. To do this correctly you must have good eye sight and a very steady hand. You also must pick the correct age larva and transfer it without flipping it over. If it's flipped over it will die.
Now with the cell punch your chances of that high quality queens is boosted. How you ask? Well when you use a cell punch to rear queens you transfer the cell straight from the comb to the queen rearing bar. So you never disturb the larva. You also transfer 100% of the royal jelly which is in the cell with the larva. At this early stage of rearing queens you have already jumped ahead of the game. Because you never touched the larva. Acceptance of cell to nursing bees is greatly boosted. So ask yourself why aren't you trying this?
