Wow, Charlie, I wasn't trying to throw any stones, nor am I in any way critical of any of our excellent queen producers-- 



Maybe a bit defensive on my part,  You don’t seem to grasp sometimes how others take your thoughts and words and start spreading them!  I do know you don't feel that way,  but you would be amazed at how many take your thoughts and twist them,  and then spread them.......  Its always interesting to go to meetings and hear some of the things twisted around.   

Right now it sure seems that queen producers are evil and are the reasons we have the mite problems we have.....  always trying to Scam a buck with inferior non  queens that only last a few months..... southern queens that can't handle mites or survive the cold..... 

This is the current sentiment constantly pushed in many circles.....  

As you know I am pretty darn loyal to good people, and yes I get a bit defensive  of them at times.   We do know how good of people they usually are, and if most understood what they do to get good queens,  and the grief they get when one fails.....they would be a lot more supportive!
