"The hive receiving the queen must have no laying queen and virgin queen or queen cells present. Ideally, the hive should be queenless for at least 24 hours prior to introduction. The frame with the queen should be placed in the middle of the brood nest (if no brood is present, place in the middle of the cluster)."
