Growing queen bees

I have good demand for queen bees in season, which is from mid-May until mid-summer. I grow hundreds of them.

I put the bee larvae into these yellow protective tubes. The tubes are fixed into a frame and inserted into a hive without a queen bee. Bees care for the larvae until the queens hatch.
