    Cell builder colonies managements • Cell builder colony needs to be proper management and the same colony can be used to rear queen cells during entire season. • Cell builder colony made queen less by removing its old queen. Grafted cells are easily accepted within few hours after making it queen less colony; better acceptance if de-queened in the morning and first lot of cells given in the afternoon or  in the next day. • This colony being queen less needs to be sealed brood or nursing bees to maintain the sufficient population.
