I just ordered 10 Queen cells, I plan on putting then in five frame med boxes with brood frames, one frame of brood and what else should I put with them?
        Thanks!

I don't want to add much brood till I see they get out and get mated and then I will make them stronger, I made 20 5 frame splits that are in ten frame boxes, I just want to see how the cells work out and if I can get them thou winter.

You also want frame of honey and a frame of pollen. You also want these frames full of bees.
