Princess bee hatching

This is a video of a princess bee emerging from a queen cell that I recorded last July 2013, I took all the capped queen cells from a hive last year and put them in jam jars with a couple of house bees. I placed them in the chicken incubator at 36 degrees Celsius and 3 out of 4 of them hatched and I placed 2 of them in apideas and gave the 3rd one to a neighbor.
