The queen that I disco bed in this post took a while to start laying, 3 weeks, but she's good now. I opened the cage on the queen I bought this week after a day. They seem very happy with her, just not interested in candy. <br /><br />Maybe I'm positioning the cage wrong? Will definitely poke home next time. Though it's so big deal to release her after a day or two. kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10947233901412406068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3656162688659389008.post-53864810913942959972016-05-04T08:50:21.706-07:002016-05-04T08:50:21.706-07:00I know I am commenting late, but did you poke a ho...I know I am commenting late, but did you poke a hole in the candy plug? Sometimes the bees cannot grab onto the smooth candy plug and so they cannot eat her out. It could also be that they had not accepted her yet or you just had lazy bees. :)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474760455745525056noreply@blogger.com
