Wish I had the equipment and knowledge.


I pondered it!  Many great training programs close to me,  but  what is lacking still is a decisive idea of what I would do with it?  I after 20 years commercial, still cant pin down the best genetics for what we do.   Some seasosn the IT lines kick butt,  other years it the Carni style that do better. Been running  about 50/50 the last 5 years,  and still cant see a winner in all cases.  

Doing both pollination and honey.  It seems to be an easy pick,  but add in swarming, mite issues, honey production and winter size and weather changes  and I am still puzzled as to which queens to pull from!
