Here's a Guide to Banking Queens
Usage: Snap a Banker into your groove type Langstroth deep frame (the kind for plastic foundation) carefully in the center of the frame where the bottom bar is most flexible. In a new frame it can slide back and forth once installed. It can be taped or waxed to keep it centered. Some beekeepers who bank queens like to keep them centered in the hive. Others prefer to fill the frame so 2 Bankers can be installed to hold 40 cages. They should be added to the frame as it is assembled. There isn't enough flex to add 2 after the frame is assembled.
NOTE: If you have the older style EZPZ Queen Cages made in white plastic, the fit in the tray may be very snug. The new cages are made of better, more durable material and have a cleaner finish.
