So, I got two C. Vicinus Queens from Vern, and I was thinking about fusing them as I heard they were polygonus. If I were to fuse them, I would like to know good methods for fusing single queens. So I would like to ask about some good ways on how to fuse single queens. I heard refrigeration for 10-15 minutes is a way to calm them down, is that true? I also heard to just put their test tubes together and see how it goes. Can I get some advice please?

From, TechAnt
