Some first time beekeepers make the mistake of releasing the queen from her cage. NEVER help release a queen. The bees and their queen must slowly become aquainted with each other so that the Queen becomes accepted into the hive. If after a few days, the queen hasn't been released, then and only then is it okay to remove the candy cork from her cage.
