> There's a difference between being a queen breeder and a queen producer.
One can be one, the other or both.
Serious queen breeding is more than a casual selection and involves a lot of extra work and expense compared to breeding the yellow ones or as I did, simply raising queens from what seemed to me to be my 'best' colonies and isolating the mating areas from unselected hives.
Although I produced queens I would not call myself a queen breeder.
