Title: hows this?
Post by: phil c on May 04, 2011, 07:54:44 AM
Yesterday I put in a package and while I was getting ready I realized I had forgotten a marshmallow to put in the Queen cage. I didnt feel like driving a few miles back to the house so I used a chunk of wax and honey out of 1 of the old frames. I think it should work, we'll see in a few days.

Did they stop putting queen candy in the cages?  If it doesn't you always have the option of direct release.

This package had no candy, just a cork. Come to think of it I have never had a package that had preinstalled candy. always used a marshmallow.

wow that's interesting never seen one that didn't have the candy in it.  guess it depends on who you order from.
