I've dealt with Hardeman over the years, getting a few queens from them.
I've been satisfied with their service, but I haven't used enough of
their queens to make any judgement. Just got Italians from them.
I've done some grafting lately and intend to raise my own queens. It's fun!
I now have 6 nucs with queens that were produced by my grafting efforts,
and they seem to be putting down good brood patterns. I've only got 14
topbar hives and 2 Langstroth types, so I don't have the volume of queen
uses that the commercial beekeepers have. But I DO enjoy my
experimentation, and I DO like honey!
For the first time in 15 years, there didn't seem to be a poplar honey
flow at Canton, GA, about 40 miles N. of Atlanta. There may be some
sourwood coming in now, but it's never dependable at Canton.
I am enjoying all of the BEE-L conversation.
Cordially,
Jim
