Greetings, again:

Of course, Murray, I am not talking about using queen cells to requeen, a
too time-consuming procedure for most American commercial outfit,
operating on efficacy-paradigm.  I am talking about simply ordering
hundreds or thousands of queens for immediate replacement, for they will
start laying eggs immediately without losing the valuable time, especially
at the onset of a heavy honey flow.  Similarly, I am not talking about
requeening with Russians for improvement of the stock, either.  I am
merely talking about requeening solely to invigorate the egg-laying and
thus maximize the honey production.  I nevertheless always appreciate many
of you Brits brining different perspectives to the table, though.

To start, I would like to hear about any research done on the *long-term
consequences of annual requeening*, if such study has ever been done.

Yoon
