Artificial capsules are put on the empty brood frame and such frame is added to a hive brood chamber. After the bee queen laid eggs in that frame and bees reshaped artificial capsules into forced cell cups, the frame together with bees, but without the bee queen, is moved from a brood chamber into a honey supper of the same hive or in an other hive. In this way bees are enforced to bring over reproduction material into enforced cell cups. So, the process of bee queens rearing is initiated. The purpose of such frame depends on a bee keeper: to continue bee queens rearing, to produce royal jelly, or to prevent sworming and evaluate the degree of a bee colony swarming impulse. Artificial capsules are put Alternatively, artificial capsules are put on the brood frame taken from a brood chamber and such frame together with bees, but without the bee queen, is added to a honey supper of the same hive or in an other hive. The remaining explanation is as in the first variant.
